Match on action is an essential part of continuity editing which creates flow in a piece of film. A shot will end with one action, usually performed by a character in the scene, and then the next shot will begin with a continuation of the same action. This seamless cut will take the spectators attention away from the transition, instead keeping their mind on what's happening in the story.As the audience, we are solely focused on the action being performed by the characters. By cutting part way through a certain movement, our concentration is kept on this action.
This is fine, but would be even better with 2 stills from a real film. Avoid using examples from other centres' media work - there are loads of these on google images!
