  • 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.

  • 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.

  • You are my hero, Pete

  • Very good video

  • I love the jump cut, its weird, but I love using it for our videos for slacklining etc. this isnt spam or anythin, I just want your opinion on my movie watch?v=tcs1rtNgGMk&feature=ch­annel_video_title

  • breathless was 59, not 69 by the way.

  • 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

  • Brilliant, it cleared things up for me

  • great
