Match on Action

Match on Action: 

Editing a scene with various angles to save jump cutting and confusing the audience.

if you didn't use match on action it can confuse the views as the scene would not make sense eg. a personal walking down the stairs, you can jump cut by jumping the scene to various points down the stairs to make the sequence go faster but this confuses the audience as it looks like the viewer jumps down the stairs. To make it look more professional, we used match on action. Using the stair scene as an example, match on action involves the camera person to film the person walking down the stairs in various angles so when it is put together, the editor can use the various angles to make the sequence go faster but not confuse the audience. We done an example of match on action in the video above.

Involves: filming the same scene in various angles with the same action

Why use it: it looks more professional than jump cutting.
