Match Cut

A match cut or raccord is a cut in film editing from one scene to another, in which the two camera shots are linked visually or thematically. It can be used to underline a connection between two separate elements, or for purely visual reasons. In a match cut, an object or action shown in the first shot is repeated in some fashion in the second shot; the objects may be the same, be similar, or have similar shapes or uses.
