In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing by Walter Murch
3.0
Mostly talked about the history of editing.
Main takeaway/s: cuts should be as natural as blinking in the real world. The actor's blinking must correspond with the right beats else it becomes unnatural.
Editing frame by frame must go with the rhythm of the film not comparing which frame is better.
Digital editing like Avid can be limiting, because it is too linear(you cant see all the clips unfolding simultaneously), it only shows you want you think you want to see but not what you need.
