Transitions

Transitions
 
Transitions refers to the process or period of changing from one state or condition to another. There are different types of transitions, such as: short reverse shot, cut, jump cut, crossover, montage, fade to black, dissolve\cross-fade and wipe.

FADE-

The preceding shot fades into black from which the next shot emerges. A visual transition between shots or scenes that appears on screen as a brief interval with no picture. The editor fades one shot to black and then fades in the next. often used to indicate a change in time and place.


DISSOLVE\CROSS-OVER-

The preceding shot merges into the following shot, resulting in two shots being super-imposed. The longer the dissolve the more noticeable the superimposition becomes. Its is a gradual scene transition. The editor overlaps the end of one shot with the beginning of the next one.


CUT-
A visual transition created in editing in which one shot is instantaneously replaced on screen by another.

JUMP CUT-
A cut that creates a lack of continuity by leaving out parts of the action.

MONTAGE-
Scenes whose emotional impact and visual design are achieved through the editing together of many brief shots. The shower scene from psycho is an example of montage editing.



SHOT REVERSE SHOT CUTTING-
Usually used for conversation scenes, this technique alternates between over-the-shoulder shots showing each character speaking.








MATCHED CUT-
A cut joining two shots whose compositional elements match, helping to establish strong continuity of action.
