The Dream of Egypt’s Tuthmosis IV

Description

A 360 degree virtual tour around the statue of the Sphinx temple and the pyramids of Giza, telling the story of a ‘dream’ that Egyptian archaeologists are working to restore within the Sphinx statue and how it was changed in the history of ancient Egypt.

What Works Well

This video takes the viewer up close with Egypt’s most famous landmarks while also using voice acting work and narration to guide them through a story of the Sphinx.

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.
