Experience the Mainz Carnival
Description
More than 500.000 people celebrated this year’s Mainz carnival in Germany. The highlight is the traditional Monday parade, which has been a feature of the festival since 1838. This year the parade was 9 km long, a new record. 154 floats took part, with President Donald Trump and Brexit the butt of people’s jokes. It is estimated some 150 tons of sweets and other goodies were handed out to party-goers

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.
