Stella's example of Match on action

Match on action is a cut that connects two different shots, which show different views of the same action, at the same moment in the movement, creating the effect that the action continues uninterrupted.

The correct way of a match on action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot. A match on action is usually filmed in medium shot, medium close up or medium long shot, as its important that the action taking place can clearly be seen.
