I know that it is usually a bad idea to put in editing cues in a spec.
However, suppose the following two cases:
1. There is a jump ahead in time, or a dramatic change in tension at the beginning or end of a sequence and you want to fade the picture to black for a split second before the next scene starts. Would this be acceptable to write in? And what cue would you use?
2. You want two scenes briefly superimposed on each other. One scene is ending, the other starting. Is this acceptable to write in? And what cue would you use?
Thanks in advance.
