Breaking Bad: match cut example

Mac 5 really likes the idea of using match cutting to create a smoother transition between our scenes, because it creates only a slight confusion when the setting changes. We think that this reflects our main characters behaviour at work, and supports the idea of our patient not being aware of her doctor's state, as we do not want to give too much away in the opening.

'Trouble concentrating/ confusion' was one of the side effects of valium that we highlighted for our character to exhibit. We think the match cut is a nice way of subtly underlining the idea that our main character's mind is constantly elsewhere.
