Transitions

A transition is used to describe the continuation from one shot the the next one. Although many films simply cut to the next scene others use a effect to continue. Effects such as dissolving, fading or wiping are used in many films.

One example that uses many transitions are the early Star Wars Films. On many occasions an effect is used to change shots especially when its in a different location. For example for the first part of Star Wars Episode 4, we see the space ship flying away from the planet, then a diagonal wipe is used to cut to the planet where we see the robots.
