In Fear Of Fear, there is one primary edit that is used constantly, which is the cut. This is when a series of shots are put together, to create build up and pace. However, there are some scenes which fade into others, but the editing is fairly fast and discreet.

This creates a dramatic effect on the audience as they are viewing many shots in a short time this may make the audience want to go on to seeing the full movie. This was done by the directors in order to create an enigma in order to gage the focus of their audience. Furthermore since it is a horror movie quick shots will add to the suspense and thrill of the movie since a lot will jump out at the audience making them want to view the whole production. However, there are some scenes which fade into others; this may have been done to vary in order to not make the cut edits seem boring. Overall the editing is fairly fast and discreet.

However at the beginning this isnt the case as the production begins their alot of fades in slow motion to emphasise the old school and the great significance of it now that it is gone. On 1:36 in their dining hall their is a high angled shot of regular people enjoying themselves this angled shot gives an insight of what the school is really like and again emphasises its multi-cultiralism.
