Review: Esse livro é muito gostoso de ser lido e nos coloca dentro da cabeça de um dos gênios do cinema. Review: I think the ability of the writer to express certain ideas and emotions that drive the editing process to very clear wording is impeccable. This is a book that is fast to consume and go through it’s not a heavy read and a good start to navigate the thought process behind things and the storytelling is pretty good. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,377 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Aerial Photography #3 in Dance #3 in Movie History & Criticism | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,932) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.27 x 21.34 cm | | Edition | 2nd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1879505622 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1879505629 | | Item weight | 227 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 120 pages | | Publication date | 23 July 2021 | | Publisher | Silman-James Press,U.S. | ## Images ![In the Blink of An Eye: New Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719OBir0xuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on 13 March 2022* Esse livro é muito gostoso de ser lido e nos coloca dentro da cabeça de um dos gênios do cinema. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Y***F on 21 February 2026* I think the ability of the writer to express certain ideas and emotions that drive the editing process to very clear wording is impeccable.

The reason is simple - it ticks all of the boxes - brief (but thorough), deep (but approachable and easy to understand), theoretical and philosophical (but still practical), and authoritative (but not condescending). Murch's advice is rooted in his experience as an Oscar-winning editor-in-chief on dozens of films. He shares the wisdom of his experiences freely and incisively, including his transition from pure analogue to the film/digital hybrid approach much in use at the start of this century. He explains why cuts work (and why they don't), how any editor can use the information of the material to find the "right" cut, and an immensely practical set of guidelines for evaluating any edit (the Rule of Six). Ignore the gainsayers' comments about the "outdated" section on film versus digital. Murch's description of his adoption of a digital workflow and his examination of its strengths and weaknesses are invaluable today. I particularly appreciate his observations of the pitfalls introduced by the immediacy and convenience of digital shooting and editing - a lack of planning, a failure to look into and through the film (as the audience will see it in a theater), and the increasingly solitary nature of production (versus the intensely collaborative world of the film age). The Golden Age was great for a reason, and he gives good advice on keeping those higher principles in your work while you edit on your Mac or PC the footage shot on your sub-$10,000 camera. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in film production! ## Frequently Bought Together - In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing, 2nd Edition - Making Movies - Rebel without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker With $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/267884351-in-the-blink-of-an-eye-new-edition](https://www.desertcart.us/products/267884351-in-the-blink-of-an-eye-new-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
