[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Julie A. Turnock tracks the use and evolution of special effects in 1970's filmmaking, a development as revolutionary to film as the form's transition to sound in the 1920's. Beginning with the classical studio era's early approaches to special effects, she follows the industry's slow build toward the significant advances of the late 1960's and early 1970's, which set the stage for the groundbreaking achievements of 1977. Turnock analyzes the far-reaching impact of the convincing, absorbing, and seemingly unlimited fantasy environments of that year's iconic films, dedicating a major section of her book to the unparalleled innovations of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. She then traces these films' technological, cultural, and aesthetic influence into the 1980's in the deployment of optical special effects as well as the \"not-too-realistic\" and hyper-realistic techniques of traditional stop motion and Showscan. She concludes with a critique of "]
