Match Cut Tutorial.

During this lesson we were taught about match cuts. A match cut is a cut that literally matches something, usually action. It is when two different clips are cut together directly the same, of a person of an object, to make the film flow from one cut to another, this should be done so that it is unnoticeable to the naked eye. Later, we then watched several clips that included different ranges of match cuts, we were asked to identify them - this was very useful to me as i could fully understand what a match cut looked like and how it was used effectively. It also gave me ideas as to which particular shots i could use for our thriller. After we were given a task, we were asked to get into our groups and we were given the following scenario:

A man in london, 3 pm, chain smoking and working on the computer, he is seen putting private files onto a disc, packaging the disk and then posting the parcel. We were then asked to write down what various shots we would use, and descrive how we would use them if we were given this particular scenario.
