2. These are shots/clippings from videos that are shot
straight from a video camera, and uploaded to a
computer/social networking site - it is raw footage
that hasn’t been edited.
You don’t typically see this in trailers as it is more
common to use transitions because they add effect on
the trailer.
3. Fade is a transition where the scene/picture
gradually fades, either on to the next scene, or it
can fade to a text slide, or to black. This is often
used at the end of trailers, to build up tension and
to leave the audience on edge and want to see
what happens next, so then, they go and see the
film.
4. Cross Fade is a transition where two scenes collide
with each other, one scene is still running whilst
another one begins. As the first scene ends, the
second one begins and cross fades in. Cross fade
is often used to change the speed of a scene,
because the transition is quick, and fast paced,
which adds effect to the trailer.
5. Wipe is a camera transition that clears the screen,
and gradually moves on to the next image/scene. It
is a gradual effect that happens slowly which
triggers the audience to think about the scene, and
what has happened, if the previous scene has been
dramatic or emotional it adds emphasis to the
previous scene/image.
This transition can be made in a number of ways,
from left to right, right to left, wipe down, wipe up
etc.
6. Pan and Zoom is a transition where the camera
moves, slowly; in different directions and zooms to
focus on a person or an object within a scene or
photo. It is a slow effect to symbolise calm events
taking place. This is a good effect to use when
building up to a dramatic scene.
The pan and zoom transition is used in many ways,
the most common transitions are pan up, down,
left, right, pan and rotate.
