This transition is used to depict the end or the beginning of  a scene or the film. The frame fades to black or appears form black. 

Wipe 

A wipe is type of transition where one shot is replaced by another by travelling from side of  frame to another in a special shape. A wipe is also known as barn door wipe. 

Superimposition 

Superimposition is the placement of an image or a video on top of an already-existing image or video which is used to add overall effect in the film. 

Long Take

A long take is shot which unfolds in real time for about 8-10 seconds or can be for a much longer duration. This shot doesn't have any cuts.

Short Take

Short take is the opposite of long take in which there a series of short section shots which only last for a few seconds. 

Slow Motion 

In  a slow motion the pace of the video becomes slower than the real-time for more emphasis on the what is happening in the scene. 

Ellipsis 

Movement and action unnecessary to the telling of a story will often be removed by editing. A period of time left out in a narrative through editing. 

Expansion of Time 

Expansion is the opposite of ellipsis. This means to expand the time of the video and making the duration of the video sequence longer than real-time. This is relatively rare as it is not often that for the audience to see something more slowly than it actually happened.
