Style of Editing

Style of editing is how the shots are linked together. Also the term transition is known as the movement from one shot to the next.

Straight cut which is the transition which the shots are moving instantly from one scene to the next without attracting the audiences attention.Which means it is the most natural transition.

Dissolve is when the audience are able to see both shots on the screen  at the mid point of the dissolve. Which gives a smooth touch to the scenes and prepares the audience for the next. This may be used when the film maker wants to show a connection between two characters , places or objects.

Fade is a gradual darkening or lightening of an image until it becomes black or white. However one shot only fades when a black or white screen can be seen which can be shown for time passing . This also indicates the end of a particular section of time within the narratives.
