Following the Action - Is a directing technique which captures all the movements a character makes when he/she moves from location to location. In bigger shoots there will be more than one camera shooting this action.
This provides the editor with a range of shots to make selections from when the entire sequence is being edited together.
At the editing stage, the editor will switch between camera angles depending on what the subject is doing and what coverage the director and editor decide best advances and narrative.
This effect of varying distances and angles, as opposed to sticking to one shot all the way through, brings shape, texture and depth to the scene.
The editor uses action matches to preserve continuity, making cuts invisible, and the audience gets a multi-faceted perspective on events which engages them in the action.
