Hi there. I'm Tim, the Sound Designer

I've composed a short musical segment for the tourism promo. You can download the music here. Its a big file - 5.58 MB. If it doesn't suit your theme, you may use different music. Try looking here for some exciting sound loops. Most of these are short, but you can copy and paste them into each other using Audacity to get an ongoing sound loop for the 30 seconds needed for the Tourism Promo. If you need to know more about the Ask your trainer to make it available to you.

You can also enhance your production by including sound effects. For example, if you intend to show a rainforest sequence of images over a musical score, consider placing some well-chosen bird song or insect noise over the sequence. It will create a feeling of "being there." The same goes for city nightlife. Use traffic sound effects for scenes of busy urban bustle. Surf sound effects can be used for beach sequences. It's a great way to create a sense of realism in your production.

You can search the Internet for sound effects or create your own.
