Creating and executing a Match cut is simple and your audience will be impressed.
This visual effect can be used as a scene transition,
to create movie magic, or to elevate the complexity of your film.
Here is what you do:
1. Plan your motion.
Make it easily repeatable.
Make sure you use a tripod.
Do the motion completely.
This may take multiple takes.
2. Repeat the exact same motion changing an element,
like the location, a piece of clothing, or an object.
3. Cut between the shots and voila, Match Cut!
You can also do this with shapes.
1. Frame your shot with a specific shape or object.
Shot in 1 location, then another.
2. Then, cut between the shots. That’s a Match Cut!
Here’s a tip - some people use clear tape to mark their viewfinder with an outline of the shape, making it easier to move from shot to shot.
