Transitions

transitions are a way to juxtapose a scene or shots. most of the time they use strait cuts to the next scene.sometimes certain transitions are used to suggest a tone or mood or the passing of time or a different part of the same story, the transitions that may suggest some of those things are dissolves ,l cuts and fades.

an example a film that used transitions is this

as you see they use more then one transition in this clip. you see 5:40 seconds in it uses a cut transition . this is to show the deference between the first scene and the one after that. the other transition that they use is a fade this is 6:42 in the clip , this is to show a passing of time as you see it nearing night and then after the transition its midday.
