Anotations

Scope note:

A transitional visual effect used to indicate to beginning of one scene and the ending of another by means of an image gradually disappearing (fade-out), while another image grows stronger and gradually comes into view (fade-in). An image fading into black typically indicates a major separation of action, while a fade to white can indicate a character's loss of consciousness or death.
