I’ve chosen to do my Assignment on, “Sneaky little Hobbitses” from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (5/9) Movie Clips (2002). The Two Towers is a 2002 fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson and is based on the second volume of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel “The Lord of the Rings”. I read this set of books some years ago and enjoyed them so much I’ve reread the series several times since.

However, I was pleasantly surprised at how close the details and characters came to the way I imagined them.
The film went on to win nominations or awards in these areas:
* American Film Institute: Digital Effects, Production Design, and Movie of the Year.
* Phoenix Film Critics’ Awards [1]: "Best Picture", "Best Ensemble Acting", "Best Screenplay Adapted from another Medium", "Best Cinematography", "Best Production Design", "Best Visual Effects", and "Best Makeup". "Gollum's Song", the theme played during the end credits won the award for "Best Original Song". The song was written by Howard Shore and sung by the Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini.
* Visual Effects Society Awards: Best Special Effects, Best Effects in Art Direction, Best Visual Effects in Photography, Best Models and Miniatures, Best Performance by an Actor in an Effects Film, Best Character Animation in a Live-Action Feature Film, Best Compositing and Visual Effects in an Effects-Driven Film.
The Director is the driving creative force in a film's production, and acts as the crucial link between the production, technical and creative teams. Directors are...
