After reading Walter Murch's In The Blink of an Eye, learning how all these old films were put together and the effort to get them done amazes me. The fact they did all this cutting and shadow cuts without using a computer like I can can truly show dedication. Reading the part about how they used to cut was probably the most influential part to me as they had to remove a part of the film out and then forge the other two pieces back together to make it flow naturally again. Reading this excerpt has made me want to learn about the old forms of film editing and the whole process of it.
What is Cinema
Although I could not relate too much to this reading, I did find some comparisons very interesting. I notice the author compares a lot of sociology and psychology to Photography and Cinema. Being someone who comes from a field of sociology I am actually impressed that the two have anything in common. The thing he compares photography to the most would be paintings. Which makes a lot of sense because many artist even take pictures or use pictures before painting and artwork.
