Film Transitions

I have recently been playing around with the different transitions available to me on the Premiere Elements. I particular liked the idea of using a dissolve transition to link some of my shots together, however, when I played around with these transitions, I felt that it didn't add anything to my film.

Instead, I felt that it made it look unprofessional and lacked horror, due to the smooth running of the shots and scenes. I therefore felt my film looked better without any transitions and instead features short, sharp shots and scenes which give it a bolder, almost uncomfortable feel and therefore suited to my horror genre.
