Match on Action

Match on Action is a form of editing that makes the footage flow well.

For example if a character reaches a door and reaches past the camera onto the door handle the next shot could be inside the building with the character entering the room.



Again the point of Match on Action is to keep the audience from being confused and has to stick,again, to the 180 degree rule. If a character exits the screen from the right running at pace, he/she must enter from the left also running at pace so it does not confuse the audience, it all needs to flow continuously. If the character was walking in the second shot it would confuse the audience and be a poor creation.
