Step Inside Ireland’s Freemasons Headquarters

Description

There are few organisations across the world that spark curiosity quite like the Freemasons. Its origins date back centuries, and in Ireland it has as many as 27,000 members. Its Irish HQ, despite some aspects of Freemasonry being highly secretive, is often open to the public. This Grand Lodge was purpose built in the 1860s and remains one of the most unique places in the city. Keith Stent, who has the role of Head Tyler with the lodge, gave us a peek at four of the most impressive rooms.

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.
