I'm of the school that says after 150 years of film making and evolving
editing technique that you use dissolves to show time passing and to a
lesser extent, locations changing, and cuts to jump in time while
remaining in the same place, or changing place while retaining the
time. People are used to these conventions and I don't break them
casually.
One time in college, we were doing an 'experimental' video, that was
supposed to be creepy and scary. I asked the TD to make EVERY
transition a dissolve, not one cut in the whole thing. It was
disturbing, but not in the ethereal, dreamlike way I intended, it just
looked lame.
