Film Opening = Evaluation Activity 7, Match on Action

Match on action refers to a film editing technique for continuity editing where the editor cuts from one shot to another, with a view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a someone walking up to a door and reaching for the for handle.  This technique is used to hold onto the viewers attention, if this technique wasn't used the shot wouldn't flow and would give the audience a chance to loose interest, due to the slight cutting or continuity issues. We use this technique in our opening, to show Christa returning into the church.
