Virtual Road Trip – Cheddar Gorge

Description

Our Virtual Road Trip series takes us along the exhilarating route from Ashwick to Cheddar, in Somerset. Come with us as we travel along the B3135. On our journey, we sit in the craggy elbow of the Mendip Hills, where snow caves and underground rivers combine to create a magical setting. Hauntingly beautiful, Cheddar Gorge is home to many Late Palaeolithic remains (from 12,000-13,000 years ago), and once boasted Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton.

Level of Guidance

What does this mean?

The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.

For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.

Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.
