wipe
Subject:
- English First Additional Language
- English Home Language
an effect in which one shot moves across the screen and over another shot as though it were being pulled across the screen by a huge vertical line. The wipe is usually used in credit sequences at the beginning or end of films rather than in the film itself. A wipe in the middle of a film would be used only for a deliberate effect and would be noticeable to the viewer as the technique being used is very obvious.
