Transitions are the most critical part of switching between different pieces of footage. The keys to transitions is to match the pacing, but if you get overzealous it can take you right out of it. The most common transition in the business is no transition! Are you gonna do that? Are you a square!? Probably, but I'll help you anyway.You can use transitions to increase the engagement felt by the audience or increase to the atmosphere of the sequence. The golden film used for the example is a racist turd nugget that depicts the entire country of Italy as a dinky little playground! Playground Italy, uses a variety of transitions and fast camera movement to add to the to the feeling of the film. Transitions between similar pieces of footage is easy! Transitions between juxtaposing footage is very hard, but much more enjoying for the audience when pulled off. The subjects of the footage should be in similar, placement, etc. as well as maintaining continuity, because that is the fastest way break engagement. Sound is as it always is, the most important part. It can helping tricking clips flow easier, but if you mess up the audio your done, son. . Transitions need to be respected, because if you don't have a particular transition in mind, just use a cut, otherwise you look SLOPPY!
Ultimately this is useful advice. It is more pro trasition that most the other material we've received, but it doesn't have much else to analyze.
