A match cut is a cut between two clips that consistently share one or more qualities of action, composition, content, or subject matter. The adjacent juxtaposition of two clips with shared traits builds a stronger story, whether it is narrative or thematic in nature. A match cut ties those two clips together by placing an edit between the clips at a point in which the shared quality is aligned between the two. This signals to the audience the significance and intention of the shared quality for its narrative purpose in the sequence. It binds together the two clips. — Chris Ace Gates
The match cut could work like a snap in the face for audiences focusing on a scene or a moment that suddenly takes you out of there.
There are two moments in episodes 3 and 11 of the show Andor where we connect the drama and tensions of one character with just simple cuts but with a well-planned transition. The droid B2EMO, is presented in episode 3 – “Reckoning” with a simple and effective flashback, and in episode 11 – “Daughter of Ferrix” with a match dissolve, where the truth is revealed about Marva's demise (SPOILER ALERT)
