A graphic match is a cut in film editing between two different objects, two different compositions or two different spaces were objects in two shots both graphically match this is normally shown in film editing that is trying to show strong continuity of action. I and some class mates filmed a graphic match in our preliminary task did this graphic match of a pen as i was writing and then there was a cut and then Sarah was walking with a different pen pinned on her top. Graphic matches are very effective when it comes to wanting to cut to a different place or scene, we found this very effective and decided to also do this in our opening of a thriller as it cuts time and its effective towards the audience.
below is a few examples of graphic matches.
This graphic match shows a girl eating an apple and then it changes to the apple sign on a Mac laptop this is an example of a graphic match as it goes from one scene to the next effectively it also zooms into the Apple and then zooms out of the apple sign of the Mac, this is is a good way in which to change the scene.
This gif is a good example of a graphic match, the traffic line suddenly turns into the sun it transitions seamlessly from the traffic light to the sun which means continuity is good and it runs through smoothy.
This is a very well known example of a graphic match were a bone turns into a spacecraft this helps link the two scenes and keep continuity.
