Match-on Action, 180 Degree Rule, Shot Reverse Shot

Within most action films, match on action edits are used to relate one shot with another, this ensures that the audience are aware of the storyline or subject to continue which allows the scene to flow in a comfortable and professional manner. To help me visualise, I have researched a number of match-on action transitions such as within the Matrix however I have found a clip that will display the edit quickly to allow me to reflect more efficiently. 

Next I have researched the 180 degree rule, this is typically used to show a sense of direction for the audience. This transition is where characters within the scene are given the same left to right camera angle to help show the scene, usually this is used when showing conversations. 

A shot reverse shot is used in combination with the 180 degree rule commonly this shot used to show how a conversation is carried out, it is when one character is shown as looking at another point (usually the same direction as the other character) and then the camera flips to show the other character within the conversation, this is used within action to help show the reactions from other characters which could develop the audience’s understanding as shown within the hunger games.
