59. Match on Match Action

My team has wanted to get at least one match on match action shot into our music video as we find they look professional. When we did our research into past music videos and real ones we found that match on match action is used quite frequently. When I filmed alone the other day I did a lot from all different angles to be able to give my team an opportunity to do a good match on match action shot. The clip starts from a mid-shot of the side of me putting my last suitcase in my boat. Then the camera cuts to behind me, (which am a close -up shot) closing the boat of my car. We are very happy with the results.  

When my team filmed the other day they had the same idea of trying to film a match on match action shot. They told me they were originally going to have a long shot of Eleanor walking forwards. Then Paige had the idea of turning it into a match on match action shot. She told Eleanor to stop help way so she could film from another angle. This also worked very well for us.  

We had planned to do more like this in London as we did bring two cameras. We could not get them to work properly. And the cameras number 2 was not working, which later we discovered that the settings were wrong. Looking back I do wish we pressured to do more, as they do look very effective.
