RESEARCH: Match On Action

This is another film editing technique, where you sequence a series of different shot together to give the impression of one continuous take. The alignment of the objects that you're looking to cut from one shot to another is important. So for example, if a person walks through the door on the left, on the next shot of them walking through, they must be coming in on the right. If you did not do this it would look like the person has jumped and it would be clear that this is not the same take. This is all to do with continuity, and if you get this wrong it can look obvious and bad. Another thing you have to take into account might be for example the pace the object is moving, as it needs to keep consistent.
