IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE NEW EDN: New Edition

Product Information

Well written and this is the second edition, although as the author knew would happen, film production has moved on fast. If you're interested though, I'd recommend The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film by Michael Ondaatje. Because you want to do only what is necessary to engage the imagination of the audience—suggestion is always more effective than exposition. The last part of the book is a bit obsolete, since is a overview of the then emerging digital editing process, but it only shows the accurated of Mr.

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. The rest is just Murch going on and on with 'clever' analogies to explain what editing is to an audience that maybe never before thought about the fact that movies are edited at all.

Much of the book references experiences Murch had editing The English Patient, Apocalypse Now, and The Godfather.

While it's unfair to judge Murch's book by how fast editing evolved in the two decades after it came out, I do not approve of the status this book has. Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage.Walter offers both the very interesting origins of physical film editing as well as the dawn of the digital movie age, and the crossover techniques that still exist today with the likes of Spielberg.

clean, unmarked, tight pages; 3 lines of writing on rear flyleaf; cover has light shelf and corner wear and the plastic film overlay is rippling on front and back. Bók Walter Murch um klipp á kvikmyndum dregur upp ýmsar vangaveltur um vinnuaðferðir klipparans í gegnum tíðina þar sem Murch notast aðalleg við frásagnir úr eigin starfsæfi. Murch has taken years of experience in the film industry and poured them into this work of theory and art.Mniej w niej uwag, które mogą się przydać aspirującym montażystom, ale jest to interesujący wywód pod kątem sprawdzalności zawartych w nim prognoz.

Most of what we experience visually from the moment we get up is a continous stream of linked images. That's only when he's not nagging on about the fact that he likes to put his KEM on an elevated surface, because he prefers to edit while standing up. You may not always succeed, but attempt to produce the greatest effect in the viewer’s mind by the least number of things on screen.In the Blink of an Eye is celebrated editor Walter Murch’s vivid, multifaceted, thought-provoking essay of film editing. yıl önceki ön görüler şu an gerçek oldu ve aynen yazarın aklındaki soru işaretleri günümüzde de oluştu. In The Blink Of An Eye: A Perspective On Film Editing was required for my going to film school, along with 15 other books (NONE OF WHICH WE READ BUT PAID FOR - INCLUDING THIS ONE OBVIOUSLY). While its talk of digital editing’s technological limitations is obviously quite dated, his points about the fundamental differences between workflows for digital and analog editing were still relatable to me and are definitely good food for thought.
