A Study of Indian Films with Reference to Video Transition

Abstract This paper examines the role of video transition in Indian films by integrating scholarship on Indian cinema, film editing, song-and-dance sequences, visual effects, cognitive continuity, shot-boundary detection, and recent AI-assisted video generation. The study is designed as an integrative literature-based analysis using 30 verified academic references as the corpus. Rather than treating transition as a merely technical device that separates two shots, the paper conceptualises it as a narrative, affective, cultural and technological operation. The literature shows that Indian cinema has historically used transitions to negotiate continuity and discontinuity between story time, performance time, spectacle, memory, dream, song, geography and digital spectacle. In Hindi cinema, song-and-dance sequences often suspend realist continuity while producing a culturally intelligible flow of emotion and desire. In Tamil and Bollywood contexts, digital editing, VFX and AI-supported workflows increasingly extend the transition from an invisible cut to a visible site of spectacle, speed and post-production authorship. At the same time, cognitive film studies and shot-boundary detection research demonstrate that cuts, dissolves, fades and gradual transitions structure viewer attention, event segmentation and temporal perception. The paper contributes a transition-centred analytical framework for Indian film studies and proposes a coding model that can be used for future empirical research on selected films. The findings suggest that video transition in Indian cinema should be read as a convergent aesthetic form through which narrative coherence, cultural performance and technological mediation are jointly produced.
