My name is James, and I am a student photographer passionate about capturing the world around me. I have been taking photos since 2022, and it has quickly become an integral part of my life, inspiring me to pursue a career in this field. While I primarily focus on wildlife photography, I have recently begun to explore portraits and other styles as well. This course has enabled me to incorporate photography into my daily routine, transforming it from a mere hobby into a central aspect of my life. I initially enrolled in level 2 media production before transitioning to level 3 photography & film a few months later. This website showcases all the work I have completed during my college journey, and I invite you to take your time to explore it.

Match Cuts

A match cut is a film editing technique that connects two different shots by using visual or auditory similarities to create a seamless transition. The connection can be based on objects, shapes, actions, or even sound, and is used to create thematic links, convey continuity, or evoke a specific emotion.

When a normal match cut isn’t enough
First Attempt

This video uses a movement match cut to create a smooth transition between scenes. But it’s technically not a match cut so I view why it wasn’t and then tried again.

Second Attempt

This video I used inspiration from a movie scene that is shown above. This is graphic match cut as the scenes are visually similar and create a traction to the next scene.
