Matching on action connects shots that depict the same action even if filmed hours apart, giving the illusion of continuity. Cross-cutting edits between two unrelated events or locations to imply they occur simultaneously. Establishing shots provide context of the location at the beginning of a scene. Graphic matching cuts between objects or spaces that share visual similarities. The 180 degree rule maintains consistent camera placement to avoid disorienting the audience. Shot reverse shot alternates between characters facing each other in conversation. Eyeline matching cuts to what a character is looking at off screen.
