Fade-out is a cut that gradually darkens the end of a shot to black, fade-in lightens a shot from black, dissolve cut briefly superimposes the end of a shot with the beginning of another, and a wipe cut replaces shot by means of a boundary line moving across the screen. Graphic relationships are created by displaying patterns of light/dark, line/shape, volumes/depths and movement/stasis. Editors can cut from dark scenes to light scenes, while maintaining the important composition like how Hitchcock uses a center composition or when he maintained the relationships by including similar or contrasting colors like Hitchcock’s cut from Melanie to the background. Graphic relationships give mies-en-scene elements either smooth or abrupt contrast through graphic matches, continuity and movement. For example when the camera is filming flames, it is a very active shot which is contrasting to the next scene which may be of a static object. Rhythmic relations are the patterns of shots and soundtracks. Flashing frames and change in duration can stress certain elements. Sequences of flashing frames may be used in flashbacks or transitions to create a violent impact that conveys tension and excitement. Editors also use steady or accelerating shots. For example in The Birds Hitchcock counted the frames along with the rhythm of the dialogues with no fixed pattern of lengths. Spatial relations establish and manipulate space. For example a sense of space and the character’s spatial location is created when The Bird shows a scene of a crowded area then a scene of just Melanie. Spatial relationships also includes shooting from completely different locations, then using sound and staging to bring the locations together. Intra-frame editing also brings and mixes components from different scenes so they fit seamlessly. Thus, creating a new non-existing space. Temporal relations
