Deadline: 7 p.m. on Sunday
Part Two: Shoot a series of three photos - from different angles and with different compositions - as if you were doing a three-shot matched action sequence in video. We'll download and sequence them in SoundSlides on Tuesday in class.

Video of a man who received 1,000 copies of the AARP magazine by mistake, posted on cnn.com. Matched action: 1:55-2:06.

The matched action is simple and smooth, although I'm not convinced it's very effective. While I understand their opening with the magazine forces them to close with it, flipping through just seems redundant. Zooming in on the newly flipped page is cool though.
Video of Air Force One being moved. From CNN.com:

It's pretty much a continuous stream of matched action from about 5 seconds in till about 40 seconds in, with may a few jump cuts. I think it does a pretty good job matching the action and keeping the flow consistent and smooth. The content itself is pretty boring though.
I found a matched action in this video at nyt.com:

(its the "Brooklyn's Jazzy Jumpers video, fourth one down on the right)
The matched action happens when the jumpers' coach sits them down to talk to them (happens at 28-38 and at 4:30-5). The matched action here works pretty well. The camera is a little shaky and i think it would have been more effective if there was more variety between close medium and wide shots. It does make a somewhat boring scene more interesting though.
