The different types of transitions are:
~ The Fade
- There are two types; fade in (beginning of a sequence) and fade out (end of a sequence)
- The fade can be used to represent the passage of time
~ The Dissolve
- A visually smooth transition between one or more shots/scenes
- Can also be used to "pass time" or a change of scene
- Handles are needed (short sequences before and after that will allow for the dissolve)
~ The Cut
- The cut is used to flash between scenes; it can give the overall vibe of a sequence
- A point where two shots come together- most basic transitions
Questions you should ask before placing a transition are:
- Do I need a transition?
- What transiton will enhance my story line?
- Which transition would would detract from my video?
I would use the transitions to cut between scenes. The fade or dissolve would be best for the passage of time and/or change of location.
