Banksy + Da Vinci Documentary

Description

Power is coded into the lives we live and the world we inhabit. Graffiti and street artists deconstruct the authority we so often take for granted. It imposes itself on the world and, with it, new ideas which challenge the status quo. In this 360° virtual reality documentary, we examine how Banksy and other artists have used their works over the past 1,500 years to challenge and undermine dominant power structures, forcing people to ask new questions about old problems.

What Works Well

Level of Guidance

Guidance Level 5
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.
