I have researched transitions that I then incorporated into my trailer whilst editing.
I like the shot reverse shot used (0.27-0.30) as you are getting information from one person, then when it jumps to the next person it reinforces the subject of the conversations, the myth of the blair witch. It also shows reaction shots that reflect what the first woman was talking about.
I think the cut to black (0.51), enhanced with the non-diegetic atmospheric sound, creates an eerie feeling, and creates tension amongst the intended audience. It is also used again (1.01) to create the same tension, after the woman states 'I know we're not lost.' The black shows that what happens could be contradictory to what the character thinks.
In summary, there isn't really a diverse range of transitions in this trailer, just a lot of straight cuts and cuts to black, yet I think this emphasises the sort of movie it is, as hand-held cameras are used, there wouldn't be many elaborate transitions, this is what I wanted to achieve with my trailer.
