Match on Action: The scene cuts to the next whist keeping the action from the previous scene consistent i.e: Scene A ends with a man running whilst scene B starts with a man running. This links the 2 scenes together whilst keeping it consistent and creates a smooth cut

Graphic Match: The scene cuts to the next with the same shape/colours from the previous scene. It links together the 2 scenes i.e: A bone thrown into the air then it cuts to a space station [both are a similar shape]

Eyeline Match: The character looks to something off screen and the scene cuts to another image, creating the impression that the character is looking at the next image on screen i.e: Person A looks out the window then it cuts to a field

Graphic Match: In a graphic match cut, the first and the second shot share the same shapes, colours or composition.

Eyeline Match: Eyeline match is a film editing technique to indicate to the audience what a character is seeing, eyeline levels match. (Example:)

MATCH ON ACTION:

The process of aligning or overlapping the shots of a film sequence in order to achieve a smooth transition from the action in one shot to the action of the succeeding shot.

Essentially – transitions/physical movement to connect (parallels etc).

EYELINE MATCH:

Eyeline match is an editing technique used to indicate to the audience what a character is seeing. Eyeline match allows the audience to believe that they’re looking at something through the eyes of the character.

Essentially – using point of view for emphasis or perception confirmation when a character is looking at something, or potentially continuity when a subject is looking at another character.

Match On Action- A technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first one’s action. This emphasises a connection between the two subjects.

Graphic Match- A technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another with similar shapes, colours, or composition. This allows the audience to draw a connection between the shots.

Eyeline Match- A technique where the editor cuts from a shot of a character seeing something to a shot of what the character is seeing to allow the audience to understand what is going on.

Match On Action is where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot’s action. So let’s say a character is opening a door, if the scene uses a match on action cut it would cut to another character opening a door, although it must be smooth to maintain the verisimilitude and not break the observers attention. This technique would be used as a swift and quick way to cut to another scene. Furthermore, to fully utilise the impact of this technique the 2 scenes should have a correlation or a link.

A Graphic Match is where the first and the second shot share the same shapes, colours or composition. This can be full on, with the shots resembling one another completely, or it can be more subtle. You might choose to match just one element up between the two. So applying this to a hypothetical scene, the camera could be focused on a clock and the next shot would have an object a similar shape to the clock in the same space on screen as the clock was. A graphic match may be used to to convey metaphors/hidden meanings or just a way to smoothly change to a different scene.

An Eyeline Match is based on the premise that an audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. An eyeline match begins with a character looking at something off-screen, followed by a cut of another object or person: for example, a shot showing a man looking off-screen is followed by a shot of a television. Given the audience’s initial interest in the man’s gaze, it is generally inferred on the basis of the second shot that the man in the first was looking at the television, even though the man is never seen looking at the television within the same shot. Keeping two characters on the same level may be used to show the viewer that the two characters are equal, it can also be used because the director/cinematographer doesn’t want to use high angle/low angle shots (which a difference in height would naturally create) because it wouldn’t construct the meaning which is intended
