Match on action is a cut in film editing from one scene to another, in which the two camera shots compositional elements match, helping to establish a strong continuity of action. It can be used to underline a connection between two separate elements, or for purely visual reasons. In a match on action, an object or action shown in the first shot is repeated in some kind of shape and form in the second shot; the objects may be the same, be similar, or have similar shapes or uses.
Match on action is an editing technique that creates a sense of continuity. by cutting from one shot in a scene to another the movements are matched so that a continuous flow of action is established and the audience does not notice the editing.
