As the main character is a former CIA agent running from the CIA, you would expect the movie to be even more intense. Therefore, they shoot very short scenes, and from many different angles. The average shot length in The Bourne Identity is around four seconds, which translates to roughly 1785 edits for the 119 minute long movie. In the second movie, the average shot length is 2,4 seconds, which is about 2700 edits for the 108 minute long movie. The movie has a whole lot of close ups, and the fight scene where Jason Bourne fights Castel, an assassin from the CIA, has 46 close-ups in only one minute. (Cinematography editing during fight scenes in The Bourne Identity and Hero) The fight lasts for only about two and a half minutes, but in only one minute we had a close-up about every 1,3rd second. The action movie Hero only has 11 close-ups in that minute, and that shows how the directors from the Bourne movies use camera angles and shot lengths to make their scenes even more intense. The average length of a shot in this minute from Jason Bourne is one second, and there were 63 shots. That means over one shot per second. Other effects than camera effects are sound and lightning to some extent. The way sounds are used is for instance with complete silence before a fighting scene, but they do not focus as much on sound and lightning as they do on
