Thanks Majik,

Are these the three films you're going to talk about in your essay? What angle will you take with them? I think instead of saying things like "passionate" and "committed" and "Kiwi born" you will have to discuss what are the unique characteristics of the Jackson style. Remember some of the film language we discussed before the Banksy movie, and do some reading about film criticism. Some of the vocab that Rebecca has used for the visual arts might be able to be used in a discussion of film as well.

Hey Majik!
Peter Jackson lives in Masterton, towards Mt Holdsworth, here are 3 ideas / links that you may find useful for research for background info/intro ....

This link has short films charactitures(??)info about sets he used for some movies... have a looksee dude. (use Peter Jackson as your key word)

You could try to FB him and be mates (for your benefit!)not as rediculous as it sounds!!

mdc@mstn.govt.nz this is a link to the Aratoi ARt Gallery in Masterton - if you wanted to contact them about if he has had exhibitions ... if they can send you info.

Dont forget to dig around about his past, before the big blockbusters, ... but what did he do to get there, - that past helped make him who he is and how successful he is... cheers, good luck.
