Cut; The simplest and most commonly used transition. This is usually used to change between shots within a scene. This helps avoid confusion, because if the editor was to use a cut to chnge scene it may be a bit disorientating to the audience.
Fade; Usually fades to black. Used at the end of scene and if done so, used to fade in to the next scene. Fading to white represents the character becoming unconsious or dying.
Dissolve; Used to link scenes together and slow the film down. Can sometimes reduce the quality of the film if not used properly or correctly. And could make the film look tacky. Also used in live multicamera productions.
Wipe; Reduces film quality unless used with expertise and skill. Used to change location, has been used successfully in films such as Star Wars and Kill Bill
Jump Cut; These cuts are use to make scenes move faster and to change something within the scene whilst having a constant location. Usually used in fight scenes, and action films.
