In filmmaking there are a lot of techniques used to make a better video or to give better details like close up.  Also there are some techniques like video editing to make special effects on certain actions you want. Also there is the film transition which is the process of video editing by which scenes or shots are combined.  Most films will also include selective use of other transitions, usually to convey a tone or mood, suggest the passage of time, or separate parts of the story. Close-ups display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene. Moving in to a close-up or away from a close-up is a common type of zooming. Close-ups are used in many ways, for many reasons. Close-ups are often used as cutaways from a more distant shot to show detail, such as characters' emotions, or some intricate activity with their hands. Close cuts to characters' faces are used far more often in television than in movies; they are especially common in soap operas. For a director to deliberately avoid close-ups may create in the audience an emotional distance from the subject matter. To edit videos there is the technique called video editing. This is the process of editing segments of motion video production footage, special effects and sound recordings in the post production process. Motion picturr film editing is a predecessor to video editing and, in several ways, video editing simulates motion picture film editing, in theory and the use of linear video effect and video editing software on non linear editing system(NLE). Using video, a director can communicate non-fictional and fictional events. The goals of editing is to manipulate these events to bring the communication closer to the original goal or target. Also to edit videos we could use the technique called film transition. Every film today, whether it be live-action, computer generated, or traditional hand-drawn animation is made up of hundreds of individual shots that are all placed together during editing to form the single film that is viewed by the audience. The shot transition is the way in which two of these individual shots are joined together. There are a lot of types of cuts like the cut, the straight cut, contrast cut, l cut, form cut, match cut, parallel editing cut, jump cut, etc. A video that uses a lot of video effects is the kony video.  In this video the creator uses a lot of effects to give a lot of emphasize in the cuts he wants. Also there is a video in Korea were a Korean singer called IU uses a lot of video techniques. She uses transitions; she uses film cuts and a lot of more video effects. Also in a video called keep your head down. It uses a lot of video effects to emphasize powerful moves.

GIFT

I did not recieve a thing for chritmas, however if I had to give a gift to another man that is poor I would give him education so he can work for himself and get a life. There is a saying that says teach the man how to fish instead of giving him the fish. If we give the poor "fish" he will not learn and he will get used to people giving him the "fish". An good example can be Guatemala. In Guatemala people give the poor that are in the streets money and thats why this country is like it is. However it is not bad to give a poor man things like clothe, food and things that they will actually help. If we give money to the poor they use the money for other uses like bying alcoholic beverages or ciggars or even drugs because they are addicted. So I would give education to a poor man so he can have his own life and live happy.
