Cut (transition)

Have you ever watched a movie or a TV show and noticed that sometimes, when one scene ends and another scene begins, there's a quick change or switch that happens? That's called a "cut".

A cut is a way to move from one part of the story to another. Think about it like flipping through the pages of a book. You're going from one page to the next, but each one tells a different part of the story. With a cut, you're going from one scene to the next, but each one is showing something different.

It's kind of like when you do a puzzle. You take one piece and fit it next to another piece until the whole picture is complete. A cut is like taking one puzzle piece and putting it next to the next piece to create a bigger picture.

Sometimes, when we cut from one scene to another, we don't want it to be too jarring or abrupt. We want it to be smooth and easy to follow. That's when we might use what's called a "transition". This helps us move from one scene to the next without making it too choppy or confusing.

One kind of transition is called a "cut" transition. It's like a regular cut, but it happens more slowly. Instead of just changing from one scene to the next in an instant, we might fade out of one scene and fade into the next. This makes the transition smoother and easier to follow. It's like if you were going to bed and your mom turned down the lights slowly instead of just flipping them off all at once.
