    When it comes to transitions I love watching music videos, they have to do so much to tell a story in such a short time that the transitions are sometimes insanely creative.

      @@EyeMCreative two I can think of, Tame Impala's - The Less I Know The Better is covered in psudo match cuts and perspective shifts. And Lorn - Acid Rain is a 'oner' that has a great whip cut and a transition at the end that ties the video together nicely.
      Music aside, the videos are great reference especially for small projects.

      Go watch the section in Oceans 11 where they convince Reuben, or any episode of Ugly Betty. Consider what they are doing critically in terms of telling us about the character in betty and the way it leads the viewers eye and invokes the period and genre of the original in Oceans. I'll wait.

To complete the transition, the editing software will usually freeze frame the last frame of the clip until the transition is done.

    I struggled with Scott Pilgrim as it was transition overload and prevented me from relaxing into the film.
    Baby Driver and the Cornetto trilogy do them so well.

    A simple one that I will do fairly often is a cut or fade to black, and then start the next scene going from black to lit organically - like a candle being lit or the light coming from a door opening into a dark room.

    Scott Pilgrim is a comic book adaptation and most of transitions are brought to life from comic books themselves. Tho still it's in my top 5 movies ever made. I watched it like 300+ times. And yeah, Edgar Wright is the king of visual comedy and intelligent humor. His attention to all details in every frame are just astonishing. He's one of the best.

  • @moOnB0w

    One of the films that I think has the best transitions of all time is The Fifth Element. Its one of my favorite films of all time and my favorite thing about it (aside from the amazing acting and costume & set design) is the transitions. There's one part where the space cruise ship is about to take off and there are like 5 different scenes with different characters transitioning back and forth in the same time span with all the transitions linking their individual stories together in such a fantastically brilliant way.
    If you haven't seen it recently, watch it again and pay close attention to the transitions, even if you just watch that ONE part. Absolute genius. Leon the Professional is a close runner up, making Luc Besson (IMO) one of my favorite directors, in terms of how he handles transitions.

    This is great that you tackle this important subject, which is NOT discussed enough! One transition that I absolutely love, and yet is seldom used, is the "rack out" where you quickly through the camera out of focus. There is so many different directions you can take this transition: example would be panning the camera while you are racking ou. Do you ever use this technique?

    @user-kg7ru4hp2b 4 роки тому

    All useful techniques but what I mainly see in the big films is a well written mini story that transitions the scene. Someone gets on a bus or a plane then you see it touch down in another city or they blackout then wake up in a hospital things like that. It has to go beyond just a technical matter and be a true part of the story. To me that matters more than the particular style.

    Nice example with the ketchup/blood though id say it would be slightly better if the ketchup blood is framed better compared to where the blood would have been in the previous frame. Having the hit be center frame rather than bottom left felt a little off.
    Maybe even use a squeezie ketchup bottle nozzle framed right where the gun barrel was.

    In a new hope it invoked the westerns and swashbuckling adventures that Star Wars was drawing from, in every further episode its invoking itself as it becomes part of the visual language of the franchise. Because, you know, pop eats itself.
