usually there will be something like Media>Video, or it could be DCIM either. the DCIM is the direct camera folder usually.

AMD 8350 // 8 GB Corsair Ram // PNY 780 Ti // Asus 1080p Monitor // Antec 120mm AIO // CM Quickfire TK w/ Custom Caps  // RAT 5 mouse // Audio Technica m50x // Behringer 4-line + Line6 8-line Audio Interfaces

DCIM > Camera where are your photos and videos works.

There will be a folder called "Media" which contains a folder called "Music". It will also contain a folder called "Video". Use that one. If the "Video" folder does not exist in that location, simply create one.

It's dependant on the video, DCIM is usually a good place to look otherwise look around your phone and see if you can find any existing videos.

You can make the folder yourself. My Galaxy SIII came with a ton of folders all individually labeled for things like, "Movies," "Images," "Music," etc. But it doesn't seem to actually matter where I drag and drop files. The Gallery/Video Player seems to find all the files no matter where I put them.

You could just put it into download and then move it from within the phone.

Any folder if you use MX Player. If you are using a stock video player, you might have to create a new folder named Videos/Movies and place your file there.
