Research on Transistions

In out opening sequence we need to cut between scenes so that the audience do not get confused or lost, to help understand what is needed to create the best effect needed so that each transition is not always boring, I looked at this video on youtube by ECAbrams where he breifly explains what tranistions are and why they are needed, and looked at the other links which explain how to create these effects, and so our group can explore more ways of doing this.
