Clip from Love Actually (2003) 0.00 to 1.46
- A successful match-on-action is accomplished at 0.41 to 0.42 from two shots where Aurelia passes the phone over to Jamie. At first we are zoomed in on the hands and the first half of the passing of the phone takes place in a CU, then we are shown the second half from a slightly different angle in a MS and it appears to be one smooth seamless transaction.
- After this we have a change of scene, and to establish this new setting we are shown 3 very wide shots from the back, side and front of Jamie (master shot/ establishing shot). However this does not break the 180 degree rule and therefore the audience are able to understand Jamie's location in realtion to his surroundings which later on in the scene are used more.
- Cross cutting is also used a lot as Aurelia runs towards the lake and starts to undress, and Jamie is left behind yelling at her to stop. This creates the impression that the two events are happening simultaniously.
- Similar master shots are re-used in order to establish the characters new positions and to highlight some of their actions (1.37 as Aurelia dives into the water and 1.18 as Jamie is climbing over the wooden beam).
