Many, many more sites are available just ‘Google’ ‘copyright free music audio download’ or ‘free audio editor software’


Or maybe ask friends or local musicians to perform for your film if available.

Music - COPYRIGHT FREE!!!

Just a reminder to students that music in your films MUST be original work or copyright free.

The exam specification states that: "All material should be original", All candidates are strongly encouraged to explore the variety of possibilities of sound design and not just to use music!

So you cannot use music that was used in a film or by a well known artists as these sounds are protected by copyright law. 

EITHER - create (or get a musically-skilled friend to create) an original piece of music for the film specifically or 

find a free download site.

A site with free downloads on http://www.soundjay.com/free-music.html could be useful (although it is fairly limited the choice) or http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/.

Both sites allow free downloads of music, but PLEASE do credit them in your film  closing credits and on your blog.
