Ross,
This may be leading to another thread however it seems to me that Murch's
notion of the 'blink of the eye' is most noticeable/useful with the use of
close-ups and Medium shots. I would argue that long shots utilizing
composition in depth (Bazin)) need not necessarily rely on the actors blink
of the eye, but could be provoked onto the viewer (to blink her eye) by
creating an audio or visual affect.
