Video stories

In 1888, the first video was produced in Great Britain and lasted only two seconds. Centuries later, humans are able to record 4K videos of almost every place on earth.

Video is a recording of moving visual images which can come in many formats. It can come in the form of news programs, movies, or other visual media products that are broadcasted on digital displays. In business, videos are very useful to promote or showcase a message, and can also be utilised in sectors such as security and education.
