NATURAL TRANSITIONS PART 2

What are natural transitions? How do these types of transitions differ from the ones that you've learned already? What does each of them add to a film?

A natural transition is a cut. A pan shot is when the camera moves sideways quick enough so that the picture blurs is called a whip pan. This transition is great for alluding to the passage of time or indicating a frenetic pace of action. A body wipe lets the talent come closer to the camera, or walk in front of the camera, until the shot is completely obscured and goes black. Reverse for the start of the next shot. Cutting on motion allows the audience to capture the action in a more exciting way.
