Match on Action


Match on Action

Definition:
Match on action is a very simple but essential technique, where the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues to flow.

As a class we came up with the definition of match on action below after we did a practical that included 2 people throwing and catching a ball. In the practical we had to have at least 4 different types of shots from different angles and then cut them together using the iMovie on the iPads.
 
Class Definition:
Match on Action is the sequencing of events in chronological order to maintain continuity so the narrative can be followed. This is done by matching the footer of one scene to the header of the next.
We then watched them back as a class and discovered all the match on action mistakes each group made.
As a class we then made a list/spider diagram of rules that should be followed when creating a film to ensure there are no match on action mistakes.
