RESEARCH: Match on Action

A continuity technique that uses jump-out editing in order to give the audience the impression that all the takes are actually one continuous take.
The action that finishes the end of one take must always match the starting action of the following take.
Although sometimes the takes are taken hours or days apart, the audience will think that it was done all at once, the director needs to make sure that if they are planning on taking the next take in a few days time, that their actor / actress looks exactly the same as they did before, if not then the illusion of a continuous take will be ruined.

here is an example of the Match on Action technique..
