ODIM Guatemala Annual Report 2021

Meet our In-house Videographer OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, ODIM has increased our efforts to utilize video cam‐ paigns as a tool to broadcast health informa‐ tion and education during the pandemic.

This year we trained local staff on video pro‐ duction and photography so that ODIM could produce our own videos One of those staff members is Juana, who sat down to tell us more about her experience.

Tell us a little about yoursel an what you o at ODIM My name is Juana jpan. I am 24 years old. At ODIM I am a Promoter of the High Impact Home Improvement (HIHI) Program. I started working at ODIM in October 2 19. e ore working at ODIM i you have any e erience with hotogra hy or vi eo ro uction?

The truth is that I had no experience, I didn’t know how to use a professional camera, I had no knowledge in this area at all.

What kin o training were you o ere

by ODIM? At ODIM I have learned many things, espe‐ cially about video production. They gave me the opportunity to receive classes with local photographers on how to take photographs as well as recording and editing videos.

After the classes I had, I started to record and edit videos. ow I know how or when to record a video, how to cut or join videos, add text, add background music, use transitions, apply sound effects, or add images. At first, I was afraid of not doing them well, but little by little, I’m learning more and with each video I make, I’m learning new things.

What kin o vi eos or ro ects have you been art o ? What are you ost rou o ?

The videos I have made are very important for the community I have been making videos 2 20
