Creative Commons

Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools.

It allows artisits to share and expand their work to the public in a simple and standardized; giving the artist the option of how they want the copyright term to follow on their work.

For our work we are going to be using creative comoms as source to find our music and sounds as there wouldn't and copyrights issues as well as it allows us to download the music for free.

So here is a simple guide on how to serach for music on Creative Commons.

So first of all when you search for Creative Commons, it should ead you into their wesite which looks like this. There is a small box with the sub-heading 'explore'. In that box there is a button which says 'find CC-lisenced works' once you click on that it then leads you too a different page. 

Once you have reached the page it transfered you too, your page should the have 13 small boxes on there showing all the different websites which all have CC-lisenced work that you can search from.

As we wanted to find sound and music for our video, what we would do is then click on the boxed which shows us that the source we're going to be looking for is from soundcloud. Onced clicked on the box you then type the typed of music or genre that you want and then click search. 

Once the search has gone through it will them lead you into the soundcloud wesite where it will then show you all the different types of music realted to what you hae searched, in my case 'indie'. You can then have a lisent to all the different types od music and sound, find one you like then if it is avalible iy will allow you to download the that peice of sound which you can then use. In my case edit into the opening.
