Documentation - Jan & Feb 2012

The theme of the newsletter for the month of February is TRANSITION. Transition simply means “the process or a period of changing from one condition to another”, as defined by the oxford advance learner’s dictionary. This word is used in different fields for different connotations. In the field of literature it is a general aspects of writing style that signal changes in a story with the use of Transition words, such as "however" and other conjunctions. As a student of media and film it would rather refer to a method of juxtaposing two scenes, including: Wipe, a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape and Dissolve, a gradual transition from one image to another. For music lovers this would mean the middle passage of a piece of music.
