What is it?
Match on Action is where two or more shots are edited together to make it seem that the shot is one continuous action. This is a form of continuity editing method, by doing this it makes the scene appear to be real to the viewer. The end of one clip is edited together with the beginning of another to create verisimilitude.
How is it used?
This is a method used to create the effect that it is one continuous action using two or more clips. This is done by filming someone doing something from different angles, then by editing it to make it look like it was filmed in one shot. For example you could film someone walking up to a door, then in the next clip, film them coming through the door but on the other side, this makes the viewer think that it was one action without stopping. By doing this it makes the viewer think it was only shot once, but it was actually filmed a few times. To make it seem real the variables must be the same, for example the speed the person was walking at, which door they opened.
Why it is used?
This is used a lot when filming as the cameras may not be able to get the whole view, also they may want to give an effect from seeing the front of the person/ people then seeing the back. This is here to make an illusion that it is all filmed in one long shot without stopping.
