This is a guided meditation playlist that I have been listening to and taking notes on. I noticed that it has a relaxed visual as well as the music, where there is one prolonged video throughout. As I have experience with yoga and meditation I know that any more than this would be distracting for people trying to meditate. When meditating it is advised to close your eyes to help you think more clearly and allows your body to shut down into relaxation. I have noticed watching these videos that there is very minimal speaking, not to little and also not too much. This helps with the guidance on a meditation session so that there is little instructions to follow to help with an easier guide but to also help the viewer understand. This is also helpful because it is normal to go off track during the session so a guided voice will help to divert viewers back into their meditation.

My decision with Meditation and Relaxation Music

My decision with Meditation and Relaxation Music 

# data[].attributes.body
From looking at my ideas I have decided that I would like to create relaxation and meditation music. I have chosen this as I am very into the yoga and meditation lifestyle where I attend classes and courses myself. Hearing how music like this can help you relax fascinates me and I would love to learn more about it and create music to help me relax. From experience, I also know that it can be tough to jump straight into meditation so I would like to make my own guided meditation series to help others, myself and to create music that I love. I would like this to be ongoing after university as it is a career that I am interested in.

Guided Morning Meditation | 10 Minutes To Start Every Day Perfectly ☮

This video is very similar to my other references but this time instead of one moving image there are multiple but not too many. They are relaxed and very positive videos combined and this makes me want to explore the different ways I could possibly portray this.

10 Minute Guided Meditation for Positive Energy, Peace & Light 🌤

# data[].attributes.body
As my idea has been confirmed, I firstly would like to note down what duration each video is going to be for my playlist. I want this to be suitable for beginners to advanced where I can keep this ongoing after the module. Therefore, I decided that I will start with a simple 30 second guided mediation. This could start the playlist off with a 30 second introduction to my playlist and guided meditation. I will then proceed on to 1 minute guided meditation and then a 2 minute. After that I will then do a 3 minute video, then a 5 minute video where this is still a beginner level. Then I will be going on to an 8 minute video and then a 10. This is also considered a beginner level guided meditation as advanced level is around 45 minutes. This of course takes a lot of practice to do, and with the durations of my guided meditations and my references this should help people to get into it. This then takes me to step 2.

So after planning the duration that it would like my videos to be, I know that the type of music that I create will also need to be engaging and relaxing in order for this to work and become helpful. I have seen that a lot of restaurants now use classical music to reduce any crime that occurs in their stores which I think is a powerful tool. Classical music for many years has been used to relax, distract people, help people study and sleep. From listening to my references and meditation playlists on Spotify (links included on page) I have also noticed that very natural sounds have also been used or even live sounds, for example, raindrops, wind, thunder, insect noises etc. Being in nature is something that is very important in the yoga and meditation world as it allows you and your body to reconnect with nature and your breaths, which allows you to relax and forget all the negativity for a little while.

Now I am moving on to the moving image where I have decided that I would love to go around different places to record some of nature. In Park Campus there is a lovely lake with lots of ducks, squirrels and more and I thought that would be a perfect shot to take. When I went home during reading week I also had an opportunity to film the pond the my dad built in my back garden which captured lily pads, plants and the way they moved with the wind. In the background was the noise of the water filter and it sounded very relaxing. I got all of this done and loved being with nature whilst doing so.

So, after filming my material I came to explore YouTube as that was the social media platform where I wanted to post my work. I realised that because I filmed all of my content in portrait mode, YouTube would crop it as it only allowed me to create content in portrait mode if I was to be posting shorts. (Short videos). As I learned this, I decided to keep my footage for other uses and to even post shorts to promote my original music and to market my main videos so it helped me with another idea of how to promote my work. After realising this, I captured landscape videos to use and could blend different ones together as they explore the theme of nature.

After getting my original music recorded and mixed I saved a WAV file so that I could combine my music t the videos. I am also thinking about releasing my original meditation and relaxation music playlist onto Spotify too to get my music out there and to continue this journey. I then will use Premier Pro from Adobe to combine my video and music to create engaging content for my channel where I can also edit.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly when everything is completed I should have a playlist of meditation and relaxation music on my YouTube channel, Shorts (videos) to promote it as well as on TikTok and will eventually upload to my Spotify.
