Adding Audio

For the audio of the piece I wanted some detective style music, so I searched on the internet for some Royalty Free Stock Music this is because this music isn’t copyrighted so can be used in videos, unlike some mainstream audio, I then found a website called estockmusic.com which is where I searched for the keyword ‘detective’ which gave me the exact sort of audio I was looking for, I therefore downloaded the song and added it to my project.
I then dragged and dropped the audio into the timeline in the same way that I did with the video clips and clipped it so that I had the right length audio for my video clip.
The next thing I had to do was to mute the audio that had been recorded with the film clips, however this was an easy process as Premiere had already split the video and audio up and placed them in two separate places, therefore it was just a case of muting it by pressing the little speaker icon next to the two audio clips.



To finalise the audio I added a fade in and a fade out to it so that the transition from start to finish is smooth and therefore the music slowly goes quiet instead of just cutting off.
