Transitions for Film making

1) Identify and describe the different types of transitions used in film/videomaking.

• Cut: This is when the scene stops and flahses to the next one right away.
• Dissolve: The scene disolves into the next one slowy
• Fade: This is when it may fade into a black image when the film is done, or a new image.
  

2)What questions should you ask yourself before you place a transition in your film/video?

You should ask yourself if it is really needed and if it will make sense or actaully help you film look better and make it look more succesful. If it doesnt do anything for the film and that particular area it is proably not needed or you should find a different transition to use.

3) How might you use these transitions in your particular animation?

I can use these transitions if i wanted to cut from one scene to another, or if i wanted to cut from one characters close up to anothers. Another Transition i could use would be the fade when ending the film.
