Hot Fuzz - Interesting Transitions

This week, we are focusing on an interesting transition. (TubeChop is killing me so just skip to minute 1:00!!) The first film that came to mind was the montage scene in Hot Fuzz. This scene is packed with transitions. We can see cut shots, dissolves, and close ups which all help the audience know what to focus on during such brief shots. Another transition used repeatedly is the camera moving rapidly from one spot to another. This helps show the passage of time to tell a brief re-cap of the main character’s past which is the point of this montage scene.
