A nightmare on elms street is a very old film so the editing isnt going to be as updated. It begins with extreme close ups of someones hands who is making a new set of gloves. Fire and many different tools are used. Without seeing who the character is, it creates tension as to what this person is going to do with the gloves. After the knifes on the gloves are shown,  the title bursts through and stops it. The colours used are black red and white, which are the conventonal colours of a horror.After the title, the woman character is shown and she is purely against a white background. At the time this was made this is the simple the edit that they could use. Although it is effective as you focus purely on her and her emotions. After this we see her running through a dark corridor, and shes running from the white room she was previously in. The extreme long shot gets in her running with the corridor, its important for the auidence to see what shes doing. The goat that runs out on her is incredibly random but makes the auidence jump as they are on edge. The contrast of white and black occurs throughout, could white mean the way out?
