Match on action

Match on action is when an action is started in one shot and continued on into another shot for example if you where filming someone opening a door you would have a shot of them from behind walking up to the door, then a close up of them pulling the handle and then a shot of them walking into the door where they are walking towards the camera. The video below shows another example of match on action.

A good example of match on action in the video above is between 2-3 seconds because the perspective of the camera changes while the scene carries on uninterrupted.
