Graphic Match/Match Cut

The film maker can choose to place shots in a certain order to create a smooth transition from one frame to the next. When two consecutive shots are matched in terms of the way they look this is called a Graphic Match/Match Cut. The image doesn't have to look the same, it can just have the same patterns of light and dark, or the same positioning of the figures in the shot. The director can choose to present a totally contrasting shot to achieve a different effect. An example of a Graphic Match/Match Cut is show below.
