Match Cut

A match cut, is a cut in film editing between either two different

objects, two different spaces, or two different compositions in which
objects in the two shots graphically match, often helping to establish
a strong continuity of action and linking the two shots
metaphorically. A match cut is one method that directors use in
editing to suggest a relationship between two different objects and
to create a visual metaphor. It is a cut within a scene that makes
sense spatially. This can be between two different objects, two
different spaces, or two different compositions in which an object in
two shots graphically match.
