Anytime I read I like to put on my headphones and listen to relaxing soundscapes. My favorite one is a mountain soundscape that has a gentle breeze. The breeze is what I wanted to emulate the most in my project. It helps me slow down and just think clearer.<\/p>\n<p>How I went about making it was first, I went down to the river along a trail that I will walk with friends. There I found a nice spot to record and set up my camera. I sat there for about 5 mins, letting the camera get plenty of footage, but also taking in the quiet space as well. That was one thing about the project I wasn&#8217;t expecting. Actually slowing down enough to record in nature was just as healing as listening to the nature soundscapes was. Finally, I took the footage home and added the relaxing music to it. Made some audio adjustments today in the lab then I turned it in.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Project 1 -  Slow Media\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A-uH_YKNncE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my project, I mix both audio and visual elements to create a relaxing soundscape that encourages focus and peace.
