Additive Dissolves

In today's lesson whilst editing we decided that something needed to be done to improve the quality of some of the shots and to tackle the major issues with focusing. The problem with a lot of my shots was that because I didn't have a a professional Steadicam to be able to use the shots were incredibly unstable and this showed up very obviously when they were put onto the editing software. I decided that to cover this problem up, and to improve the potential of the piece I would cut the footage and place in additive dissolves between the cuts to act as transitions and to cover up the focusing mistakes. This worked really well and I really liked the quirky effect that it gave to the piece. I added this throughout the title sequence and within the opening scene too. It became the key transition of the piece. 
Here are some shots of where I used the additive dissolve.
