Lord of the Rings Commentary

Watching the commentary of Lord of the Rings has its advantages and disadvantages. We learn a lot about the making of the film such as special effects and camera angle tricks; however, we don’t actually get to experience the full effect of the film. One effect I enjoys was the way the directors produced the small image of the hobbits to normal people. They mostly filmed two background images together, making the hobbits look smaller than normal, and the normal people looking larger than they actually are. Another thing I found particularly interesting was the fact that they didn’t want to put in an introduction, but it was a requirement so they made an introduction that told about the ring’s origin.
