Continuity editing uses long, smoothly linked shots to help audiences understand mysteries revealed at the end of psychological thrillers, as seen in American Psycho where long shots allow Patrick Bateman to realize he didn't actually kill anyone. Straight cuts with jumping shots between different focus points create tension during intense action scenes, as in The Bourne Ultimatum. Match cuts connect unrelated scenes to show unexpected relationships and is used in thrillers to build suspense.
