Each thematic session included presentations, videos, and hands-on training on the production process, including pre-production (planning, budget, and equipment), production (capturing the images and sound quality), post-production (editing, cleaning, filtering), photography, and graphic design.
The videography equipment purchased for the National Meteorological Service includes lighting-GVM 1200, a professional shotgun microphone, a portable boom pole, a tripod, an 18-35mm lens, a heavy-duty C-stand and boom pole holder, and a wireless lavalier mic.
