Match cutting tutorial notes

As part of my thriller practical, I am required to use a variety of shot distances and shooting material appropriate to the task. I was taught the match cutting technique and was required to identify them in a short film.

A match cut is various camera shots edited together to show a single continuous activity.

We was told in order to create a match cut successfully, you had to film the activity various times and at the chosen angle, and edit them together at the precise timing in order for the match cut to appear continuous.
