Action Match - This will involve following a single character this will be the main focus of the technical device. However when action match is used for inter-cutting . which means it can heighten parallels/contrast between two different characters in two different situations.
Example: - An example of this is in skins the young Russian woman's swinging of the axe. Here we can tell all sex and power is juxtaposed with the fat Russian dinner lady's serving of congealed mashed potato. This draws ways in contrasting ways in which the Russian women are being represented.
Eye line match - Eye line match will offer a deep insight to the characters private thoughts
Example: - In doctor who, Martha exchanges glances with all the people she loves, as though this may be the last chance she has to communicate with them before she dies. The camera cuts from her family to friends watching her signify that she is the center of action
Final Shot - In any scene, sometimes characters will have a shot taken of them in the final scene. This is implies to the audience whom the audience is expected to identify.
Example:- In primeval, although Abby saves the day, the last shot is on cutter, which signifies that the audience is intended to adopt the male, not the female, point of view.
Jump Cuts - When these are used they tend to suggest either a) Chaos and Disorder b) self-conscious ellipsis (drawing attention to the rapid pace of the action) or c) a director who likes to break the rules
Example:- In primeval, two jump cuts accelerates the cutter's preparation to slide down the zip-wire; this could be ready as speedy or decisive.
Inter-cutting: Tension - When inter-cutting is used to draw two story lines together, this can be structured to create tension, and therefore heighten the audience's identification with a particular character.
Example: - Primeval, inter-cutting between the tigers pursuit of Cutter and Abby's running in with the rifle is action code and prompts the question: will she get there in time? In Hotel Babylon inter-cutting offers both tension and juxtaposition.
Match Cut/Graphic Match - This is a cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots metaphorically. A match cut is used often to suggest an ellipsis (a lapse of time) to the viewer.
