So in my film opening I have 3 different match transition, and i’ve never edited a match transition in my life so today I took it upon myself to learn.
First things first a match cut is a transition used to seamlessly transition to another location or a scene.
It can be graphic which is when the shape of an object matches the two shots. This for example is one of mine- when the washing machine transitions to the eye. The shape of them are the same (circular.) For this specific match cut when I filmed them I made sure both were centered and stable shots so it would be easier for me to edit.
There is also an action/ movement match cut. This is my other two. When the action moves into the following scene. In my case this is when she inserts the cash, and when she presses the button.
There are a lot of other match cuts like sound, color, idea, and direction. I will only be using the ones above for my film opening.
The important thing with match cuts it’s making sure they are in same angle, centered, and stable shots. Which are all things I did so i’m really hoping i’m successful with it.
