Match on action.

As I said before one of the camera techniques that we had to include was the Match On Action.

What is match on action?
A match on action, a technique used in film editing , is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot. In the case of my film it would be the person opening the door and walking through, because we had to see her had on the door handle.

Here is an image to demonstrate this:


This is a YouTube clip to demonstrate how this works:
