Preliminary task

• A match on action shot connects two shots cut together by having a character finish an action in the second shot begun in the first shot. For instance, if a character lights a match in the first shot, the same character will draw it up to a cigarette in the second.

• Shot-Reverse Shot—The alternating of two shots to establish an interaction between the objects in each shot; for example, when a character in shot A is speaking and shot B reveals the character to whom he is speaking.

• 180 degree system—The continuity approach to editing dictates that the camera should stay on the one side of the action to ensure consistent left-right spatial relations between objects when the shots are edited together. The 180 degree line is the same as the axis of action.
