The style of transition that is going to continue the narrative flow of my film is the whip pan. The whip pan is a fairly common and subtle style of transition from scene to scene in movies, however, I am going to make a feature of it for mine. Some film genres are notorious for using it, such as classic martial arts films, and so are some directors; such as Damien Chazelle, Edgar Wright and Paul Thomas Anderson. I’ve included some short examples of the use of the transition style and a digital demo that I made to test it out in preparation for my film.
