A film transition is a technique by which scenes or shots are juxtaposed.
Most commonly this is through a normal cut to the next scene. Most
films will also include selective use of other transitions, usually to
convey a tone or mood, suggest the passage of time, or separate parts
of the story. These other transitions may include dissolves, L cuts, fades
(usually to black), match cuts, and wipes.
