Movie Audio

While it's not appropriate to put music over a news package, some video formats call for it. Montages, movies, etc. are some such formats. Since it is so important to understand and respect Copyright Law, I thought I'd post the following article from the Journalism Education Association which includes links to royalty-free music. Don't forget the audio library that we already have: www.Soundzabound.com Enjoy! Royalty-free music and audio for video production Below is a list of sources for royalty-free music and other audio tracks for video production. Although using music in news stories isn’t always a good idea, there are many times when we need music to enhance a video or broadcast journalism project. Intros for newscasts, sports highlights, tributes and slide shows can all benefit from an appropriate soundtrack. For more info on how to use music legally and ethically, check out this story about copyright and fair use, and take advantage of legal advice from the Student Press Law Center.
