This short clip from 'The Bourne Ultimatum' shows a car chase typical to the action genre. The editing is extremely fast with 23 shots in 22 seconds. As this is more that a shot a second, the result is an extremely fast paced action sequence that grips the audience. Also the camera is not always steady and this adds to the effect, almost making the audience feel like they could be in the scene themselves.
