Transitions
- Used to blend a shot either into the next shot or a solid colour. These can be used to imply a change in time, location or scene.
A simple example would be fading a shot to black at the end of a film.
Some of the most common transitions are:
- Fade: Shot fades to a colour, usually black
- Dissolve: A shot dissolves into the next shot. This can be used to signify the end of a scene or to jump further into the sequence.
- Wipe: Looks as if the shot is wiped away to reveal the next shot which is usually the next scene.
