The clip from 2001 really woke up the trolls! It really is a match cut, but also a comment on the match cut. It plays with the syntax of the match cut that you explain so well: to eliminate time that doesn't advance the narrative, in that case the time of hominids using tools prior to 2001. It really moves the technique past narrative function into philosophical function. One of the millions of other match cuts in classical cinema would have been less controversial.

there must be so many different terms for things and some use different names but means the same i dont know just like how pop words come and go out of style

[ChristianandGloria]

Brilliant, it cleared things up for me

EXCELLENT video. You know, this video may look simple to 'advanced film students', but, it explained something important that some instructors in film schools have the inability or incompetency to express.

Here is a great example of a match cut from "The Birds" using the same person in both shots, but the first is a location shot, and the second was shot on a soundstage - the subject and her movement are matched perfectly from shot to shot: search youtube for "Exquisite Hitchock Match-Cut (The Birds) "

[davearies11]

You've confused a "match cut" with an "insert edit" in your example following the match cut from 2001. The footage of your feet moving down the steps is inserted into the continuous take of you walking down the stairs. It's not a "match cut" because your feet do not match visually your "full form" coming down the stairs from the previous shot. A true match cut would show you coming down the stairs, then cutting to a different shot of another person or object moving in a similar way to you.

[davearies11]

The different shot could be anywhere, not just on the same steps, and usually includes spatial discontinuity, and sometimes temporal discontinuity as well. The most important aspect of a match cut, as the match cut from 2001 clearly shows, is that the main objects or people(or combination of the two) in both shots match closely in size, shape, and often movement.

What's the cut called with a white frame in between? (where it flashes and you're at the next cut?) YOu see it in documentaries and TV a lot.

film school gives you great info but you never get the puzzle by the second semester you forgot what you learned on the first one he the its worth the money i was about to buy an expensive camera he saved me from making that mistake

[8888Eastman]

this is great informations but the video is so short if you really want to learn filmmaking and know the 38 steps to make a movie buy dov ss simmens he is the best film instructor of the planet theres another one call action cut and is also in credible action cut teaches you more about directing shot by shot but dov ss simmens teaches you how to put the puzzle together or go to 4 year school spend 100 th and you dont even know how to buy film check this 2 seminares here on youtube

2:16 - Breathless was made in 1960, not 1969.

Very insightful especially for those of us who didn't go to film school

[ProfessorHanson]
