Match on Action is when the film editor cuts from one shot to another and connects them together.
The shots are taken from different angles though the scene may be the same. This gives the impression that the scene is continuing through, though one shot may be filmed hours or days after.
However, if they are filmed a long time after, they must make sure everything on set stays the same. The cut is smooth and effective so that the viewer’s attention is not on the cut.
The actors sometimes have to repeat their actions several times in order to capture it from several angles.
When we make our final film we must remember to use match on action because it makes the film look more professional and we want it to look like a real film. This also makes the shots flow more smoothly and it means we can include lots of different angles of one shot. This will be very useful because our film is a thriller so we need fast cutting shots to flow smoothly.
Here is an example of Match on Action:
