Match On Action.

Match on action

Matching Action Example from Joshua Dempsey on Vimeo.

Here is a perfect example of match on action. It is when a character does something but when the action actually happens, a closer shot shows the action. This emphasises the action being performed. Using this technique could easily distract the viewer from slight continuity errors. The shots, although they could be filmed hours apart, create a nice flowing clip of action.
