 Description: 

Editor Walter Murch's article on film editing is in The Blink of an Eye. Starting with what the most simple editing issue would seem to be - Why do cuts work? - treats the reader to a fantastic "ride" through the film-cutting aesthetics and realistic considerations. He gives his thoughts on issues such as consistency and discontinuity of editing, imagining, and actual life along the way; the criterion for a successful cut; and the blink of the eye as an analogue to the cut as well as an emotional prompt. New to this second edition is Murch's long reflection on digital editing's present situation.
