MATCH ON ACTION



What is Match On Action and why do we use it?


Match On  Action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob. The main reason we use Match On Action is to create a sense of continuity. It is essentially a 'visual bridge' that draws the attention of the audience away from the cutting of the cameras.

    Make the connection between these techniques and your own work -

    To get into L4, once you have done your storyboard, why don't you illustrate those parts of the SB where each of the 3 techniques will be used?
