  Abstract

In film industry, camera angle and smooth transition between shots are very important and time-consuming manual process. Match Cut is most frequently used technique in this industry to achieve seamless transition. This paper proposes an app that offers solution to assist match cut technique using edge detection algorithm on mobile device. Users can use the app to take two different shots which can be used to match cut in future. It is helpful to take different shots without manual efforts and heavy equipment.
