The Sound

    So I'm in the process of figuring out the background music to put in my documentary excerpt. I learned from the documentary project we did in class, that some soft, royalty free, non-diegetic, background music really makes the difference in a documentary that would otherwise feel kinda empty without it. 

    I know I want to make it upbeat, but still soft so that its not too distracting. So I hit Youtube. And I found this video by the account Music & Gene that has many different option for great upbeat music right in the same video. This poses a bit of a problem because I am incredibly indecisive but it really does have some very good options. 

    I think so far my favorite is the one called "Happy," i think it's the most perfect mix of soft and still energized that I'm looking for but we'll see. Considering my excerpt has three different sections I may end up using more than one of the soundtracks. 

    Here is the link to the full video:
