Dissolve

Dissolve A dissolve is a gradual transition from one image to another. The terms fade-out and fade-in and are used to describe a transition to and from a blank image. This is in contrast to a cut where there is no such transition. A dissolve overlaps two shots for the duration of the effect, usually at the end of one scene and the beginning of the next. example: This is an example shown at 2.30. I think this was used here to create a mystical feel, and a sense of not knowing what could happen next.
