Transition types

There are many types of transitions used in editing with these being the most ommonly used:

Cut, is one of the easy forms of editing by simply cropping a clip down to the desired length.
Fade, used at the end of scene. Fading to black could represent the end of a film and entering the credits.
Dissolve, used as a gradual transition from one image to another.
Wipe, looks poor quality, used to change location, has been used successfully in films such as Star Wars and Kill Bill
Jump Cut; These cuts are use to make scenes move faster and to change something within the scene whilst having a constant.

How Editing Manipulates Time

Long Take- Is a single shot which is quite long and can relate to real time.

I like how it only uses one shot.

Slow Motion- Is an effect of which time appears slowed down.

It's good how it shows how much you have slowed it down.

Compressed Time- Editing a large amount of footage into a small amount of time like football hightlights.

I like how you can see the light change from day to night, but it's not the best one i have seen.

Fast Motion- Is where a frame is captured at a slow rate and then played at a normal rate.

I like how it shows how slow they recorded it.
