Conventions and Techniques: 9. Transitions

Nick McCabe

A film transition is a technique used in the post-production process of film editing and video editing by which scenes or shots are put together. Most commonly this is through a normal cut to the next scene. Most films will also include a wide range of other transitions, usually to put across a tone or mood within the story, suggest the passage of time, or separate parts of the story. These other transitions may include dissolves, L cuts, fades, match cuts, and wipes.
