Match Cut

Match cuts are similarities in the frame cut but the audience knows that a period of time has elapsed.
Eg a can (brand new) floating in the ocean at night and then fades to an old can (rusty) (exactly the same as first can - except for age) floating in the ocean during the day or a light setting.

A match cut, also called a graphic match, isa cut in film editing between either two different objects, two different spaces or two different compositions in which an object in the two shots that graphically match, often helping to establish a strong community of action and linking the two shots metaphorically.
