What is cutting on action?  How does it seamlessly blend two shots together?  What are two things that you must keep in mind when cutting on action in your films?

Cutting on action are two separate shots of a continuous action, such as someone running and turning a corner, or running towards a door, and afterwards an indoor shot from the other side of the door, which opens. It blends two shots together, appearing as a continuous shot done in the same moment, when really, they're two separate shots filmed separately, but later put together. You should keep in mind that the two shots are connected together, appearing to be continuous. If you cut during a shot where someone standing up, the next shot should continue the same movement.
