Dissolve & Fade

My interpretation of the Dissolve transaction is basically a gradual transaction between two scenes or images to almost make them blend together for a moment to give a smooth scene swap/cut. Dissolve is the gradual transaction from one image to another as opposed to just simply a transaction to a blank screen. Fade, similarly is a darkening/ gradual blur transaction between scenes in which a transaction occurs but to a blank screen as apposed to another image.

the result is a gradual but effective transaction that actually makes the scene swap quite entertaining for the audience as it slowly blurs/dissolves.
