Film Transitions

Mary Stewart talks about transitions in Launching the Imagination. Transitions in film transition from one scene to another (pg. 296). I think transitions are important and can defiantly change the look of a film. I don’t like when a lot of fancy transitions are used in a short amount of time because it breaks up the film too much and makes it seem choppy. I think it is important to use like a fade or a dissolve every now and then, but a cut seems to work well in a lot of cases, and keeps the pace of the film going.
