Narrative
dissolve can express a change of time (cf. fade
out). Dissolve is used to "jump" forward in
the story instead of following real time lapse.
Dissolves
can also be used to transfer to flashback
and from the flashback back to present time in the story (see
e.g. Sergio Leone: "Once Upon a Time in the West",
1969).
Dissolve
can also be used as editing technical help when a clean visual
continuity
is desired. Thus a difficult cut
is made softer and the result is not a disturbing jump-cut,
cf. Attention
point.
