El Año Nuevo en Ecuador Empieza el 20 de Marzo

Description

El 20 de Marzo el día que los cuerpos no proyectan sombras al medio día fue un día sagrado para los indígenas. Ese día celebraban el año nuevo o Mushuk Nina (Fuego Nuevo), el Sisa Pacha o tiempo de florecimiento. Decenas de personas se concentran en el observartorio astronómico cenital del Panecillo de Quito para continuar con la vieja tradición y ceremonia.

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.
