aesthetic terms, as well as the transformation of Japanese film
The bachelor thesis follows the variability of special effects
in the Japanese film genre Kaiju eiga, specifically by its most
famous representative character Godzilla. Historically,
Godzilla is hit by an era of practical but also
computer-generated special effects. So, over the years, the
creators used different ways to depict a monster on a film
screen, and therefore Godzilla is the ideal case where we can
follow the development of special effects in both technical and
aesthetic terms, as well as the transformation of Japanese film
production from 1954 to the present. It is a franchise in which
special effects circulate and interact with each other.
