💢TRANSITION BLOG POST💢

 

Good Afternoon Bloggers,

This blog is our first time practicing using transitions! This assignment is getting our feet wet for what's to come, which I like. Transitions are able to capture emotions, suspense, and surprise the viewer. Without transitions, movies would not be nearly as entertaining! I had a blast recording these, with two of the videos including my sister. Luckily, she was willing to participate in these videos and she helped me with brainstorming, which I obviously thanked her for. :) In all of these videos, I tried to find the right transitions. Honestly, I feel like I still have a lot to learn but I know with practice, I will continue to improve.

                                                

In this video, I was able to convince my sister to use her as a subject. It starts with her sitting at our kitchen table on her computer, in quite a laid back mood. However, the vibe shifts as my sister is seen overwhelmed, even on the verge of crying. I used a fade transition to connect both the videos/clips. As you can see, I used the transition as a time-lapse to show my sisters growing frustrations in relation to whatever shenanigans she is doing on her computer. A fade transition can show there is change within a scene. 

In this clip, I begin with filming my backyard, more specifically my lake. I then pan down into the grass, and use a dissolve transition to pan to my front yard. I put my bunny in video to add more life to my video as I felt it would be quite uninteresting. The pan down into the grass enables me to provide a smooth transition between changing locations, and the dissolve transition adds on to the smoothness of my transition. This clip was quite easy to film. I wanted to include my lake as it provides some much needed scenery.

In this clip, I have my sister eating some delectable chips while watching some TV. I then used a wipe transition to show that time has passed and she has fell asleep. I found this video quite humorous as the transition is very blunt. I originally wanted to have the lights off for the video. However, the lighting was not suitable for a video as you could barely see her. The wipe transition is very fast compared to the dissolve and fade, which is why I decided to use it for this one.
