match on action

Match-On-Action Shots are used in media to ensure that Continuity is used throughout the whole footage. Match-On-Action also has to stick to the 180° Rule so the audience doesn't get confuse. These shots may have been shot hours/days apart, but with the right editing, they follow continuously, which does not confuse the audience. The rhythm and timing must match between the two shots. For example, if a character walks off screen left in one shot, walking slowly and peacefully; shot two should be of the character entering from screen right, also walking slowly and peacefully so connect the shots. This is a good Match-On-Action shot, as opposed to shot two having the person enter from screen left running and panicked. This is not a Match-On-Action, and does not demonstrate Continuity, so would confuse the audience.
This is an example of a Match-On-Action.
