City Documentary Editing: Skillless Transition is More Advanced (1)

1. Occlusion transition

Occlusion transition, also known as foreground occlusion transition, is a method to complete the transition by using obstructions, which can be natural or artificial: trees, people, hands, cars, walls and geometric objects can be used as obstructions. When other obstacles are not easy to use or can't be found, the hand of the character is a good one? Obstacle? .

The successful use of occlusion transition requires the close cooperation of photographers, and clear thoughts and ideas are needed when shooting in the early stage. When shooting, you can gradually block the lens with your palm and then stop shooting; Cover the next shot with your palm before you start shooting, then slowly move your palm away after you start shooting, and pull the lens back at the same time.

Obstacles are used many times in the movie to achieve the transition effect. In the lens showing the hard work of workers pulling goods, the column is skillfully used as a shelter, and the person pulling goods has also changed from a young man to a white-haired old man; The last second is the scene of street shooting. Using a passing truck as a transition object, the scene is successfully switched to passers-by playing mobile phones. Although it is very important to choose the occluder, the real challenge is to keep the movement smooth while using the occluder, which requires working hard on the timeline and fine-tuning the elements appropriately.
