Film editing Transitions (B.E.18)

A transition is something that is placed after a clip or a shot that is used to transition to another clip or shot.

1. Transitions are straight cut and dissolve etc.

straight cuts are done is a shot that transitions one to another with no affect 

Dissolve fades from black to white or vice versa and this can help to depict a new scene.

 

2. They help to guide the audience to help convey a passage of time, character movement, pauses, storylines, and silence.
