Good

Beautiful read. It is a very small book but covers the fundamental basics of editing to give you clarity. Must buy. But it is costly. Very tiny book.

Esse livro é muito gostoso de ser lido e nos coloca dentro da cabeça de um dos gênios do cinema.

A Very Eye Opening Book!

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.

As others mentioned, this book always makes the list in discussions about learning how to edit effectively. 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 Ignore the gainsayers' comments about the "outdated" section on film versus digital.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!
