Studio 1_Week3_Related Work_Transitions 
This week I am trying to do a story about the character can attend different places. One day he shows up in two different events, like a parallel universe scene of wedding and funeral, then I talk with Kate about the idea. She gives me a suggestion of researching the transitions of Satoshi Kon. Who is good at creating how people cope with living multiple lives. I have to say it is such a surprise and inspiring research that I have done. I saw lots of movies or videos that contain plenty of amazing transition, which I like. However, I never know all the amazing transitions are created by Satoshi Kon. He is a true master and has a deep impact on the development of cinematic scenes. Here are some transitions summarized from his works. (Perfect Blue, Ohayou, Paprika)

  •     Rewind the film
  •    Cross the line into a new scene
  •    Zoom out from a tv
  •   Use black frames to jump cut
  •   Use objects to wipe the frame
  •  Matching scene transition
  1.   General match cut
  2.   Exact graphic match
  3.   Intercutting two different periods, which mirror each other.

All these works are also can be seen in Inception and Black Swan

Here is a film about how he demonstrates the feeling when people waking up in the morning.
