1. Split Screen
1.1. Lets you show two clips at once and lets you show multiple viewpoints - most commonly used to tell a story
2. Wide Screen
2.1. Has black bars at the top and bottom of a scene.
2.2. Gives a Hollywood widescreen style
3. Fast Motion
3.1. Creative way to show a passage of time e.g. Fast clouds, traffic or crowds of people
3.2. Speeding up a video
4. Fade In
4.1. This consists of a plain black screen fading into a scene. This is usually used at the beginning of a video.
5. Super Impose
5.1. This is a placement of one thing over another.
5.2. Montages and transitions from one scene to another are the best for this effect.
6. Black and White
6.1. Adds drama or nostalgia to a scene
7. Slow Motion
7.1. Slowing down a video can enhance emotional and dramatic moments

8. Fade Out
8.1. This consists of a scene fading into a blain black screen. This is usually used at the end of a video.
9. Iris
