Join WWII Vets on Emotional Return to Normandy for D-Day
Description
Over 70 years later, World War II veterans return to the shores of Normandy, France to visit the battlefield and the graves of their fallen comrades. Their trips are fully funded as an expression of thanks for their service.
What Works Well
This video juxtaposes historic images of the D-Day landing at Normandy with views of the same locations today all with a backing track of interviews with veterans who were there then and have returned.

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.
