Does the frequency of cuts directly correlate to tension/excitement in a film extract?

Having analysed a two minute extract from Gregor Gore Verbinski's The Ring. I have found out that with the increase of excitement, there has been an increase in the frequency of cuts. In the last 15 seconds of the film, there are 11 cuts this creates more tension and excitement. This relates to our main task because we want to make to make sure that we use a lot of cuts to increase the tension and excitement in our main task.
