The reasons why people use image relaxation videos usually fall into two the main categories of recreational and stress relief. There are other uses such as for therapy. Whatever the reason for using these videos, they use a mixture of relaxing visuals and audio stimuli. The videos are played in front of the viewer on a television screen, desktop computer or mobile device such as a mobile phone or iPad to help them achieve a state of relaxation. General Types Of Image Relaxation Videos Although there may be many variations in the way videos are created for relaxation, there are two main varieties:
Non-Guided - With this variety, just a mixture of visual elements in combination with audio types of one or a mixture of music and nature sounds are used. There is no voice talking on the video. Guided - Guided relaxation videos use the extra element of the spoken word within the video. The voice is usually used to provide instructions or guidance during the relaxation session. Text messages may also be displayed on the viewing screen to reinforce the spoken word.
Sections Of Image Relaxation Videos Image relaxation videos can usually be divided into the three sections of introduction, scenes and conclusion:
Introduction - At the beginning of a video there would usually be some form of instruction or guidance in the form of voice, text or a combination of these. This introduction would prepare the viewer to watch the scenes that follow and would usually suggest locating themselves away from distractions and making sure they are sitting comfortably. Scenes - The main body of the video would be the actual scenes used to promote a relaxed state in the viewer. This would be the combination of visuals, such as natural scenes of rivers, mountains, ocean and sky; and audio in the form of music, nature sounds and voice. Other types of scenes may be used but the essential characteristic is that they convey a sense of calm and relax the viewer.
Conclusion - At the end of the video either after the scenes finish, or during the last few scenes, there would be a conclusion. This conclusion would be a message in the form of voice, text or both, slowly preparing the viewer for the video to end. Also, any music or natural sounds being played would be gradually faded out.
Length Of Image Relaxation Videos People will have varying amounts of time available to enjoy the benefits of a video for relaxation, depending of their individual situation and their objective. Therefore the time span or length of a video will be made to match, as close as possible, the time slot and objective of the viewer:
Break Time - Every now and then an individual may have a short break available to them and need to escape their daily routine, usually work. In this situation they may only have a 5 to 15 minutes time slot available. Spare Time - At some point during the day you may find that they have some spare time available to them and want to experience a relaxation session. A 15 to 30 minute medium length relaxation session may be appropriate for this situation. Recreation Time - Some people regularly undertake relaxation sessions in their recreation time. In this situation they experience a full length session for more than 30 minutes, often of the guided variety.
Summary On Composition Of Image Relaxation Videos The two main components of image relaxation videos are visuals and audio which may be in a variety of combinations. For most videos there is usually an introduction, relaxation scenes and a conclusion. These videos may be either non-guided, using music and/or nature sounds, or guided with the extra dimension of the spoken and/or written word. People use videos for relaxation for two main reasons, recreation and stress relief. Also, people may want to experience a relaxation session at anytime during the day either during a break time, spare time, or recreational time on either: a television, computer or mobile device. It is for these reasons that videos are produced in different formats and for different lengths of time. One final note: people are different so what is relaxing to one person is not necessarily doing to be relaxing to another person. If you are interested in purchasing videos, you may be best served by finding samples of different types of video and testing them out until you establish which type is best for you.
