Cliffs of Moher from Hag’s Head

Description

The Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of County Clare are some of the most recognisable parts of Ireland & the Wild Atlantic Way. This little video features a few clips from Hag’s Head at the most southern part of the cliffs. Hag’s Head gets it’s name from Mal of Malbay who was an old Sea Witch who fell in love with Cú Chulainn who didn’t reciprocate the affection. The little stony bit near Moher Tower is said to be what’s left of Mal after she fell into the sea chasing her love, who did his best to escape her. Later in the video you’ll see a clip from a boat tour around the base of the cliffs. This is level with the visitor centre & O’Brien’s Tower. It’s a stunning part of the world & well worth a visit.

Level of Guidance

Guidance Level 1
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.
