March of the Cats
Description
Tens of thousands of people marched from La Sabana Park to Congress on Sept. 26. It was called the “March of the Cats,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to the idea that only a few people supported the strike. People from all around the country joined the march, including indigenous Costa Ricans and farmers from rural parts of the country. The march was the biggest demonstration since the general strike started on Sept. 10. Public sector unions called for a strike to oppose a proposed tax reform bill.

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.
