Richmond's 48HFP comes up in a month-and-a-half. Though I believe strongly in saving the story for that weekend, and thinking it up fresh, there are some ways in which I'm going to be a little more cold and calculated.
For example, no matter what genre, and what sort of story I write, it is definitely going to feature a big musical montage, because that's one thing that I happen to be good at. Furthermore, I'm probably going to front-load the film by putting the montage in the beginning.
Anyway, for editing, there are a couple things I plan on forcing into the story, regardless of whether it's really needed. Basically, I just wanna do something a little more fancy than the regular cuts that I tend to stick to, for no reason other than to do something fancy.
This is basically my way of telling the judges to look at the monkey. Dance, monkey, dance!
Two things I don't normally use, that I'm going to squeeze into this year's 48HFP:
1. A body-wipe (or maybe a tree-wipe, or anything-that-is-moving-across-the-screen-wipe), like the one sonnyboo demonstrates at the :35 mark of this video

2. A match-cut.
3. Not sure what you would call this kind of cut, but it's like an implied match cut. Or, is it just a match cut?

That's all I've got, for now. Obviously, whatever I use, I want to do some test footage/edit before that weekend, hence the early nature of this question.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
