Match On Action:

Match On Action:

As Group work we has to each take a task to write about. I chose to write about Match on action.

Match on action is vital to producing a great film. We learnt into todays lesson (26.09.11) that with out match on action, also know as ''Match Cutting'' or ''Graphic match'' our audience will grow frustrated and confused which will distracted them from the story behind the film.
    match on action is when two shots are cut to make sure that they ''flow''  together. this is linked to continuity because the idea is to make sure that the film looks true to life.
  And example of good match on action is presented on the youtube link below. in this scene there are two different shots which have been cut in order to give the the appearance that the scene is flowing and that there was not a cut between the scenes.  
   Match on action can also be used in other scenes such as a conversation. In one shot we could have character talking to another with and over the shoulder from said character. then, when the other character replies there could be another over the shoulder shot but of that character looking at the other.


Here is a example of match on action:
