Editing Techniques - Dip to Colour Dissolve

'Dip to Colour Dissolve' has a similar idea to 'Cross Dissolve' in the way that is works well with slow songs. However, we used it slightly differently.

Our main character in the narrative is filmed taking pictures in his memories with his lover, so we needed a transition to represent taking the photo with a digital camera.

To do this, we used the following settings on the transition:

Threshold - 0

Soft - 80

Start - 15

End - 100

Colour - White

Using these settings, the (what used to be) a good second long transition fade to white, is now a short and sweet flash of white, representing the camera flash.
