hello
i am editing a wedding video. i have lots of footage from a message room, a small room with a camera set up in it, people went in and recorded messages for the bride and groom.
in the video, instead of clumping them all together, it would be nice to spread them out over the reception, so it would be cutting between people eating and the message room. the cuts between these two places could be a bit disorientating.
should i dissolve to black, then cut to the message room. or dissolve to black and dissolve out of black to message room.
there is no change in time between the the two cuts, only a change in location.
thanks for any info chaps?:)?
Dissolve usually means a passage of time but if you dissolve quickly it's just fading in and out and looks nice.
It might be fun to use wipes as well, especially if you only wipe partially, sort of shove the reception aside a bit and show someone talking in the meeting room, and then swipe back to make the interview disappear. Of course it might look like those annoying moving adds at the bottom of the tv these days.

I think, like rjschwarz, dissolve means passage of time. If you use it, the dissolve should be short. In other way, in some oportunities, it's ok if you don't use any transition between both takes.
I think it's ok, only dissolve out of black to message room. But don't abuse.
Goodbye!
