Match On Action; How we did it

Having done a match on action post already this post is showing how we used it in our filming procedure.


We first set up the camera, zoomed and focused on the peice of paper featured in the match on action. This shot was the main part of the match on action due to it showing the actual pass of the paper. The other shot comes before, and shows the first character getting the paper out their pocket and the start of the pass. The second part of the match on action was significantly more difficult to get right compared to first bit. Getting the angle and speed of the pass made this difficult but we eventually managed to achieve a good pass shot. From here, we edited the two together at the exact frames to create flow. It took many takes to get it right but when we managed it, you can see the paper as part of a smooth transition of passing it to the second character and this is in the main frame. Its short but gives an interesting effect to the viewer..
