Editing - Day 2

After adding some of the shots in our trailer last lesson, this lesson we just need to continue getting the footage in order so we could begin editing and cropping scenes to suit the trailer, now we need to get a soundtrack and multiple noises that will suit and compliment our teaser trailer.
One of our scenes is a stabbing flashback, shown through a series of very fast cuts (we used very fast fades because we felt it made them fit together better), we have the scene in black and white and found that the way the fades are timed to be very helpful; the shorter the clips around a fade, the shorter the fade.  This made, because the clips in the flashback stabbing were very short, the fades snappy.  We got this idea of a scene from a trailer for Halloween:

At 1:36 of that video you see Michael Myers stabbing someone from three different angles in fast cuts, this was my inspiration to film this flashback scene in our teaser trailer in that way.  This scene is in a Halloween 2 trailer on youtube which has been taken off, that's how I found this inspirational clip but am unable to embed it in my trailer inspiration post.
