daredevil + dissolve
a transitional editing technique between two sequences, shots or scenes, in which the visible image of one shot or scene is gradually replaced, superimposed or blended (by an overlapping fade out or fade in and dissolve) with the image from another shot or scene; often used when there is an emotional component to the subject in the story, a strong visual relationship between the outgoing and the incoming images, or more simply a change of location; lap dissolve is shorthand for overlap dissolve; also known as a soft transition or dissolve to. dissolves are usually kept to a minimum in most films, therefore it is rare to see a shot that both starts and ends with this editing technique. this is due mainly to stylistic taste: in narrative terms, the length of the dissolve is dictated by the mood or pacing the director or editor wishes to create.

Vladmir Nabokov describes it best: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness.“
I, for one, like Roman numerals.
