BLOG QUESTION: NATURAL TRANSITIONS

What is a natural transition? What are the three different techniques that this video mentions? What would each of them add to a scene?

A natural transition is usually used to show the passing of time or the change of a location. To show change of location, you can objects (cars, doors, people, trees, bushes, grass, and pavement). To show passing of time, you can use shadows, sunrise/sunset, sky, and clouds. You can also use objects that have similar shapes in natural transitions. The movement of your camera can also be used in natural transitions (zoom, pan, swish pans). While editing, using fades and dissolves can also make the natural transition more smooth and it can also hide certain mistakes. These transitions help keep the audience engaged in the story line while also bringing attention the cut so they are aware of a change in time/location.
