Transition

I found that we had used fade to black all the time, I felt as thought this was too boring and that I wanted a more interesting transition, even thought fade to black is a convention found in horrors. I came across the transition called Cross Dissolve, It is where one shot cross onto another one, this form a better flow and looks good with some of the shots. I have placed them in various parts of our trailer for example when the caretakers hand is grabbing onto the students neck, this then goes to a shot of the caretaker looking thought the window. I really like this transition and it has defiantly improved the quality of our trailer.
