2. • A match cut, also called a graphic match, is a cut
between either two different objects, two different
spaces, or two different compositions in which an
object in the two shots graphically match.
• This often helps to establish a strong continuity of
action and links the two shots metaphorically.
• Match cuts form the basis for continuity editing, such
as the ubiquitous use of match on action.
• One example of this is in Psycho with the use of a
drain cutting to an eyeball.
