Fade

Gradual disappearance or reappearance of an image or sound .

Can be a fade-in (from black or silence) or a fade-out (to black or silence).

On a film printer, a fade to black uses a logarithmic reduction in exposure so that the shutter closes quickly at first and the progressively more slowly.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
