Jackson is known for his attention to detail, a habit of shooting scenes from many angles, a macabre(可怕的) sense of humour, and a general playfulness.
Jason的电影于注重细节著称,从多个角度拍每一个场景已经成为他的习惯,场景恐怖又搞笑也是他电影的特色之一。
Jackson was a noted perfectionist on the Lord of the Rings shoot, where he demanded numerous takes of scenes, requesting additional takes by repeatedly saying, "one more for luck". Jackson is also renowned within the New Zealand film industry for his insistence on "coverage"—shooting a scene from as many angles as possible, giving him more options during editing. Jackson has been known to spend days shooting a single scene. This is evident in his work where even scenes featuring simple conversations often feature a wide array of multiple camera angles. One of his most common visual trademarks is shooting close-ups(特写) of actors with wide-angle lenses(广角镜头).
Jackson是一个除了名的完美主义者,在拍摄指环王时,他总是要求从各种各样的角度去拍画面,花好几天的时间来拍某一个单一的画面已经是很常见的事情。他也由于能够覆盖最多角度而在新西兰大受欢迎,他的电影最明显的特色就是,使用广角镜头来拍摄特写镜头,这样画面呈现的内容会更丰富而且人物也会显得很饱满。
