What does 'natural transition' means ? Explain.
Answers
Explanation:
A natural transition is a transition that is achieved using elements of the scene while recording, rather than adding an artificial transition in post-production.
There are many ways to create natural wipes, dissolves and other effects — you are only limited by your creativity. Here are a few simple examples:
Shoot through a doorway and then close the door to create a wipe to black. Reverse to create an opening wipe.
In a dark room, turn the light on to create a (fast) fade from black. Reverse to fade back to black.
To create a fade out, defocus the camera until it is completely out of focus. Reverse for a fade in.
To create a dissolve between two shots, defocus the first shot and reverse for the start of the next shot, resulting in a dissolve that goes out of focus and then back into focus on the next.
Note: Usually there will still be a noticeable cut between the shots unless you add a subtle dissolve in post-production to smooth it over. The more closely matched the shots are in colour, shape and lighting, the smoother the transition will be.
Zoom the camera in quickly to it's tightest point, then reverse for the start of the next shot. If you have a manual zoom ring, this will probably work better than the server zoom lever. Try defocussing at the same time, i.e. a combination of the zoom and focus transitions.
Allow an object or person to approach the camera until the shot is completely obscured and goes black. Reverse for the start of the next shot.
