Match On Action

Match On Action is where the editor cuts from one shot to another which matches the action in the first shot. 

Often the shots may not have been shot on the same day but Match On Action gives the impression of a continuos shot. 

The editor is creating a visual bridge for the viewer.

As the shots might not have been shot on the same day it is very important that no continuity errors occur.

The following image is an example of Match On Action. It is taken from the film Anchorman.
