Types of Different Transitions

1) Identify and describe the different types of transitions used in film/video making.

THE CUT: The point where two shots come together
- cut can be determined in a single scene to determine the paste or the direction of the scene to be focused upon
-cutting on the action (editor cuts the scene the match the intensity of the previous shot
-rapid cutting (sequence of rapid cuts or high impact sequence

THE FADE: - fade in to black(beginning) : the focus is move in or out of the scene
- fade out of black (end) : aware passage of time in a sequence

THE DISSOLVE: The blending of two shots to communicate a passage of time and/or location
-visually smooth transition between shots or scenes (dissolve to the next) handles are short sequences that follow the transition of a dissolve - ripple / cross

Other transitions : Cross Zones, Wipes, Flash Frames, Jump Cuts

2) What questions should you ask yourself before you place a transition in your film/video?

- Do I need a transition at this point?
- What transition will visually enhance my story line?
-Which transition will visually detract from my story?

3) How might you use these transitions in your particular animation?

I will use the cut when one scene is finished to the next new scene. Or when we must stop the filming, and continue on another day the cut can be of use.
Fading in could be used in the beginning to emphasize on the situation while fading out at the end could show that the passage of time is coming to an end.
Dissolving could be used as a blending of two different shots so there will be a smooth transition inbetween the two scenes.
