You have awesome shots and a great editing software, so what's left? No film is complete with out a great music score. If you are submitting your films to any festivals or a way for the public to watch your films, it's best to use royalty free music if you don't have a great orchestral band to back you up. All Macs come with GarageBand which has royalty free music already included and you can also create your music digitally. If you are tired of those common music tracks or have a Windows there are still some awesome sites that allow you to download free royalty free music.
- Freeplaymusic.com allows you to search for music by putting in the type of emotion or feeling you want to achieve for your film.
- Freesound.org provides some awesome sound effects free for you to use as long as you register with their organization for free.
- Royaltyfreemusic.com shares a section of free music up for downloads.
- Sonnyboo.com allows you to use royalty free music as long as you credit the source of music.
Everyone wants to be original and have their own music for their films that isn't heard elsewhere so collaborate with some new aspiring artists, they'd be happy to work with you and get their music out there! Check out www.ourstage.com, there may be some great artists near you!
