Chapter 3 notes Transition Notes

Editing is nothing without the transitions, these are what hold the structure of the video together, there are many different transition types here are a few examples.

Split edit, L Cut is where dialogue cuts over the action and the response of the person or the scene with the action is shown through the clips with the continuation of speech, basically the visual layer kept the same with different cuts of audio, or different visual cuts with the layer of audio kept the same.

The jump cut is similar the audio layer would stay the same except it being one continuous shot of vision its split into many different angles of the one scene or two different scene put together.

Parallel editing is the use of two scene happening at the same time to give the viewer the belief of these events happening at the exact same time.

The wipe is a more corny transition effect used in the 80s most commonly associated with the star wars films this is used so frequently normally to cut a still scene together with the next clip swiping over the previous one.

Thematic editing is the composition of random clips which are not in anyway connected to convey and get the audience to figure what is going on, this is more commonly used in mysterious films.
