The Final Shot: Fade to White
You’re watching a movie and you reach the final shot. What happens right before the credits? More often than not, we see either a cut to black or a fade to black. But what about when a film fades to white? Does this feel different? Extremely. Here’s why.

Did this character just die? These are just a few of the many questions that a fade to white ending can bring to mind. This video essay examines some notable examples of fade to white endings. Additionally, we have replaced more traditional endings with fades to white in order to demonstrate the power of the simple technique. Be sure to let us know your thoughts for the five examples.
