Graphic Match Test

Purpose of this test was to see if it was possible to seemlessly cut walking from one location into a completely new one without the audience noticing (a smooth graphic match). We filmed someone walking steadily in many different places around school, edited them together and this is the result:



From this test it was concluded that:

• The switches of location look smoothless providing it doesn't cut from in to outdoors
• The movement would look faster if the actor had a faster pace and there was fast editing to cutaways/inserts such as the feet/face etc.
• Changes of camera distance give the footage interest and don't stand out which works well
• We are not recording sound so the changes in the pace of the footsteps is not an issue
