VIDEO TRANSITIONS • DISSOLVE / CROSS FADE • - A gradual change between shots/clips • - Shots/clips blend together • - Generally used to show a lapse in time
VIDEO TRANSITIONS • FADE • - Similar to a DISSOLVE • - Shot/clip dissolves from/to another color • (usually BLACK) • - FADE TO BLACK / FADE IN (from BLACK) • (usually marks beginning/end)
VIDEO TRANSITIONS • WIPE • - One Shot/Clip “pushes” another off-screen, or slides over another Shot/Clip • - Notorious in the STAR WARS films • - Generally used to mark a CHANGE IN LOCATION • - Examples include: “checkers, blinds, clocks…”
