Film and Editing TechniquesMatch-On-Action

Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. This creates impression of a sense of continuity the action carrying through creates a visual bridge which draws the viewers attention away from slight cutting or continuity issues. This is not a graphic match or match cut, it portrays a continuous sense of the same action rather than matching two separate things.
