transition types

there are lots of transition types that can be used in our music video.
these include CUT: this is the most commen transition and is just two clips placed next together that instantly change into the next shot.

MIX/DISSOLVE this is a gradual fade from one shot to another. they create a much more relaxed feel and are commonly used to create the effect of passing time.

FADE: this is when a shot/scene fades into a solid colour.  a fade to black screen is commonly used in films not so much in television.

WIPE: one shot is progressively replaced by another shot in a geometric pattern. there are many types of a wipe effect from a straight line to complex and circular shapes.  wipes are normally used to show change in location.
