Description

Every Google product you use was made by someone, somewhere. People mined the raw ingredients that went into the phone parts, and factory workers assembled those parts. Workers helped transport the completed products from factory floor to pallet, boat yard to warehouse, and truck to store. It’s a complex process, with hundreds of people touching the product before it reaches your hands. Our products wouldn’t be here without people. Powered by Me is the third VR film in our series to bring users to nodes of our supply chain, and reinforce why all companies need to uphold strong codes of conduct that protect people, and the planet.

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.
