In The Blink Of An Eye Sparknotes

Harris argues that revision is overlooked and undervalued because, as readers, we see texts in their final form and do not see the “hesitations, repetition, digressions…and flat-out mistakes of earlier drafts” (442). He then supports this idea when he demonstrates in a draft, by a student named Abhijit Mehta, the difference between editing and revising. He comments, “at the mundane level, he

Literary devices will be a primary source used to compare and contrast the narrative and stylistic choices made in the short story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, and the film 2081 directed by Chandler Tuttle. In the film the director is able to express visuals, sounds, and physical characters, to establish a firm idea of how the characters within the story act and feel based on their surroundings and what is happening around them. However, an Author in a short story is reliant on his words alone to paint the picture for the reader to understand the movement of the plot and its impact on the atmosphere. The literary devices used in creating and shaping pieces of literature will heavily impact the point of view of the

As said in the film, by Kathy Bates, “The invention of editing gave birth to a new art and a new language; a language that can transport us in the blink of an eye

Post-production is overlapping with production.The digital non-linear system replaced linear taped-based process reducing the cost of editing. The parallel process not only saves editing time but also develops the

The Troubled Man Louie Zamperini a name that should go down in history. Louie could run a mile in 4:07.9 (indoors). He survived 47 days lost at sea, on a raft with 2 other people. He also survived 4 POW camps. In the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand Louie Zamperini appears to be very determined and resourceful.

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.

Another interesting use of camera cutting can be found in the in between scene where Cleo is roaming the streets of Paris. She is now becoming the one watching other people rather than being the one watched as she was in the beginning (probably because of her beauty and famous singer status). While she is watching the camera cuts between other people’s conversations and then while she is walking the camera is in essence her point of view. However during this walk, the people passing are watching her as well, thus proving that this is the transition time. The use of cutting between shots of her and shots of all these people passing her not only show this change in who is watching who, but also allows for a sense of time passing. Interspersed with these shots are images of people we have already met, the widow, the boyfriend, the piano player, as well as the images of a monkey resting on a clock and her wig resting on the mirror, these things conveying how the people who know her see her and how she sees herself. This is a genius montage because these two things represent the same thing, how people see her, how she sees people, and how she sees herself, and by interspersing them we see

Editing is all about bringing a creative force into a film. The process could mean fixing a number of things like moving things around, meaning to arrange, select, and assemble - this goes for every component in the film. What you visualize, hear, with the use of special effects all are components that are edited and added to the film in a unique way to create a good story. The movie to be analysis is the film Forrest Gump with editor, Arthur Schmidt, he won an Oscar at the 67th academy awards for best film editing. Arthur Schmidt had three responsibilities as an editor in the film, which are spatial relationship, temporal relationship, and rhythm.

Where he describes cutting into people’s skin. He moves from one argument to another rendering his audience to feel the parts inside the human being as if they were there. When he starts to cut through someone’s skin he writes “The flesh parts, away to yellow globules of fat.” I turn back time and feel the adrenaline that I get when I am in a very high place form his words that describe blood and liquids inside the body. This type of descriptive mentality opens way to my own experiences and allows me to see them from another perspective. As if my eyes were made for a magnifying glass that allows me to minimize the worlds

While creating the movie, the directors may erase essential scenes to shorten the hours spent viewing the movie. This will create rage from the readers of the novel. These fans would believe the directors left out a scene influential to the story’s plot. They would delete a scene they believed was not influential, but others might disagree. This decision may cause discrepancy between the directors and the movie viewers.

The dramatic change in tone is indispensable when filming this production. If Harron were to include details such as “push maybe half an inch of the blade into his [homeless man] right eye, flicking the

I read an article, “To Appreciate the Art of Film Editing, You Must Start With a Frame of Reference,” by Ann Homaday. She mentions editors take a shot and then using technology put scenes in, take them out, or recombine them. In editing a film it is useful to have the reactions of the test audiences. Based on their response the editor will take out dialogues, switch shots, etc. Moreover, a good film is in which the editing does not stand out. Homaday states, “Just because a film is hyper-edited doesn't mean it was more of a challenge,” which I agree with. For instance, an action movie may be the easiest to edit in terms of cutting out scenes.

“Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant – in the blink of an eye – that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. The book deals with the smallest components of our everyday lives—the content and origin of those instantaneous impressions and conclusions that spontaneously arise whenever we meet a new person or confront a complex situation or have to make a decision under conditions of stress.

By using this type of editing to include slow motion, the editing expanded chronological time. By expanding chronological time the events of the scene are dragged out so the viewer can see every element and detail of the scene. The way the film maker edited this film allowed the film to display battle scenes and excellent scenery that completed the appearance of the film. Through the use of editing of a film, the filmmaker is able to incorporate special effects, slow motion and expand chronological time in order to give the correct film effect on the audience.

Editing manipulates the audience’s point of view of the story. Different cuts can delineate the plot and the meaning of the images distinctively. Battleship Potemkin, directed by Sergei Eisenstein was the example of how editing created emotions to the viewers in the theatre. The editing made the sequence into a lesson of how the Soviet Union authority was pressuring the public with complete dominance of violence.
