Blog 4: In A Blink Of an Eye

In the book In the Blink of An Eye by Walter Murch, Murch talks about one of the most basic editing questions, why do cuts work? Well it’s more than why do they work it’s more of what works within that single cut. There are many factors in editing that the viewer doesn’t take into perspective as much as an editor does. Editing is structure, color, manipulation of time and other thing. Murch in his book try’s to let others understand this.

When I read this book I felt as it was a great way to look at editing differently than I was originally looking at it.  Although I don’t think I would ever use any of his thoughts and ideas later on in my career, this is defiantly a good read for anyone in this field because of how he explain everything of how cuts work.
