I Am Galway

Description

The world premier of this 360′ Virtual Reality film was shown to the European jury at the start of Galway’s final presentation to become the European Capital of Culture 2020. The artistic piece is a cinematic poem inspired by the concept of our bid ‘Making Waves’ and reflects upon our three core themes of Landscape, Language and Migration.

What Works Well

This video connects poetry to the landscape and people of Galway and serves as an excellent example of immersive storytelling.

Level of Guidance

Guidance Level 3
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.
