I have learnt several things from my research in to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. The 2 most important things that I picked up from the clips I posted on my blog are:
1. Make it clear. With the fast cuts it's very important that the shot is very clear. Nothing fancy, just very straight forward because if each shot is lasting 25, 50 milliseconds then it needs to clearly show the audience what it is. With the shots that last a second or 2 there is room to mix up the camera work because these shots change the pace of the piece but when something just flashes up on screen in needs to be clear.
2. Zoom. On each of the fast cuts there is a slight zoom on some of the pieces to amplify the drama caused by the fast cuts and also to give more of a sense of movement then just static shots cut together. You don't have enough time to do a decent camera pan in less than a second but a zoom (with some motion blur) can be really powerful in the blink of an eye.
Another different, but important thing I picked up from my research is the pacing. Having shots of varying length creates a feeling of realistic movement and progression. If it's all fast cuts non stop of the same length throughout there is nothing to focus on. Pacing can divert attention between fast moving and slightly slower footage.
These are things which I will put in to my work when I film it.
