The rough video created for this example uses footage from the U.S. Army Big Picture film, “Research and Development in the Arctic” as well as a drone shot from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Imagine that the below is just the opening of a longer video about the U.S. military in the Arctic with this particular portion being intended to “set the scene” and establish a tone. As you are watch, consider the concepts and techniques that have been discussed so far.
