Once the silent era ended and the sound era began Hollywood utilized the "cut" most often and not until the French New Wave (60's) was the film transition morphed into a more conscious, artistic aspect of filmmaking. Nowadays the film transition has many forms including the "morph" effect that became available when computer generated imagery was invented.
Common transitions:
-Cut (straight cut, contrast cut, L cut, match cut, jump cut)
-Fade in/out (dissolve)
-Wipe (iris wipe)
-Morph
