This second edition revisits and updates key concepts on digital editing, blending practical techniques with deep aesthetic insights. A must-have for film professionals and enthusiasts aiming to elevate their storytelling through precise, emotionally resonant cuts. ## Description In the Blink of an Eye is celebrated film editor Walter Murch's vivid, multifaceted, thought -- provoking essay on film editing. Starting with what might be the most basic editing question -- Why do cuts work? -- Murch treats the reader to a wonderful ride through the aesthetics and practical concerns of cutting film. 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. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication. Review: If you are into editing, you need to know this book! - I have bought this while studying Editing & Post Production at university following the suggestion of my lecturer. A very good recommendation. It's a great essay on the art of editing written by a revered editor. I now work as an editor in tv drama and Walter Murch is someone you need to know. Also quoting this book is always a good thing to do when meeting fellow editors. Review: A Brilliant Read For Film Makers And Film Buffs Alike. - A great book for people of all skill levels and interests in film - even just movie buffs! 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. 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. There's something for everyone! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 20,269 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2 in Cinematography Production & Technology 2 in Cinematography Photography 8 in Dance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,988 Reviews | ## Images ![IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE NEW EDN: New Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719OBir0xuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are into editing, you need to know this book! *by S***N on 14 March 2024* I have bought this while studying Editing & Post Production at university following the suggestion of my lecturer.
