Match On Action

  Match on Action is a very simple but effective technique, where the view of the camera changes during a scene and the scene continues from another angle to flow
   
  

                               

Evaluation
  As a group, we were given a scenario to demonstrate Match on Action, and our scenario was a woman walking through a door. To plan, I thought of where the cameras were going to be positioned so that the cameras were out of sight from each other. We had to make sure that the clip looked natural and it needed to look like it wasn't edited. 

I found that editing the clips was the easiest part of the activity because I found it easy to notice parts where the clip didn't flow well enough. It's important for the clip to be well edited so it could be easily understood by viewers.

The most challenging part of the activity, was getting the cameras in the perfect angle so the other camera wasn't seen in the clip. If wither camera was shown in the clip it would look un planned and unprofessional.  To overcome this challenge, we ensured that both cameras were placed in the right position.

i learnt that the positioning of the camera was important because the cameras needed to be out of sight from each other but also needed to catch each moment. For example, my group placed the camera too far round the corner in the first clip so that you couldn't see the door that the person was walking through, this may have affected the audiences understanding of what was going on. 

If I was to be more critical, I would change the angle of one camera so it catches all action so our clip could have been improved.
