With the older technology, it required you to sift through alot of material, and sometimes you would come across footage that was just what you needed - footage you may have discarded before. Aparte de su conocimiento del montaje y de un sentido artístico audiovisual que podíamos dar por hecho, Murch tiene una sensibilidad literaria y una prosa envidiables. But he reminds us that the ideal cut should, in descending importance, take in the following: emotion, story, rhythm, eye trace, two dimensional plane of screen, and the three dimensional plane of screen.

yıl önceki ön görüler şu an gerçek oldu ve aynen yazarın aklındaki soru işaretleri günümüzde de oluştu. If In the Blink of an Eye was to be distilled to its essence, the 'original ideas' would take no more space than one and a half pages.The second half is made up of Murch’s musings (circa 1999) about the advent of digital editing and what larger implications may exist for editors (and cinema as a whole) in a dominantly-digital landscape. While Murch makes pains to clarify that these are just his opinions rather than objective truth, the intellectual perspective those opinions provide is tremendously valuable. While this book covers video editing from a high-level, theoretical perspective, a lot of the advice and thinking informs "lower" forms of video production.

I bought this book expecting exactly that, but even when none of it came, it was a great experience, and I learned a LOT. Suggested my students read this book as a way to understand not only the history of film editing but how it has evolved into the current non-linear mode of post-production. The second half talks about the modern transition from analogue to digital editing, which is only useful or interesting if that’s what you’re into.

It's a quick read, probably only a few hours from front to back, so there's really no reason at all not to pick it up and read it. I have read a lot of books in my time and Walter Murch's 'In the blink of an eye' is easily one of the best of those! It's amazing how well-read he is on nearly everything and has the ability to relate everything to editing. Now, 20 years on in my profession, and well past the instructional stuff, someone on one of my social media groups quoted from the book, and it piqued my interest.

It contains much the same (and more) content and is crafted by Ondaatje to emphasize not just Murch's genius, but also his humility and eager, genuine curiosity. Walter Murch, a long time editor, made a book from a couple lectures he's lectured about the art of editing - his personal editing philosophies, technical trips and tricks, and comparing the philosophical and technical differences between film editing and digital/electric editing. Even better are the bits where he delves further, into the theoretical underpinnings of what a cut is, and why they work at all given the unfamiliarity of jump cuts in day to day life (so one would think). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Covers a great amount of theory and psychology of editing, as well as talking about the history of the editing, and comparing the two in a really understandable way for anyone to grasp the idea of the differences of today's and the past's editing.Discover the joy of reading with us, your trusted source for affordable books that do not compromise on quality.

At the very least there is some great info on editing techniques and understanding when to cut a shot and how to understand confident and nervous acting. Going in to detail about when and why we blink he takes this and talks about when to cut and how blinking so important. Still, it's converted pretty directly from a lecture he delivered, which keeps the material a little close to the surface for my liking -- I should really keep reading this Peter Wollen film theory book I found at the Strand for the denser, deeper conceptual stuff, or more Ruiz perhaps. Once you have your fist cut, he recommends looking again at the original footage—things have changed now and maybe there is something in the original footage that could really help you out now, time permitting. Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage.The first half of this book is an indispensable treatise on WHY cuts in film/video work and WHAT separates good cuts from bad cuts. I went with Directing anyway because I'm an idiot and my school was made up of idiots too because when I asked to double major, focusing in Directing and minoring in Editing, they said I would have NO time for that.
