3. What are some important factors in matchmoving, ie. what factors contribute towards a successful or unsuccessful matchmove?
The 7 rules of matchmoving that contribute towards a successful matchmove are

1. There must be something to track.
2. Track things at different depths.
3. Use helper frames (take at least 10 pictures from different angles)
4. A little bit of foreground makes a better matchmove. (reveal camera position more accurately than anything else)
5. We cannot track anything that moves.
6. Avoid having have too much foreground.
7. Use a scale reference. (measure the distance we will be tracking)
