Match on Action

Match on Action

Match on action is when something happens in a scene and then there is a cut of another action in the same scene. This is an example of of continuity editing and is important in helping the audience understand what is happening.

Match on action is more effective than just filming a character doing an action. Cutting two pieces of a scene for example, a character starting to perform an action then cutting to the character having completed the action looks much better and is more exciting than watching a character completing an action all the way through.
