When it comes to
meeting someone for romance, dating, marriage or friendship, a simple video
clip with soft music is one way to advertise your personal details. You can
hire a videographer to put together a nice clip, but it will probably cost you
an arm and a leg. If you have disposal income, than go for it. However, if
you are on a limited or fixed income, you may want to create your own video or
have a college student majoring in film to make your video, as a class project,
to fulfill his or her credits. There are many movie-making software on the
market, from simple to elaborate, and your computer probably has a couple of
movie making programs, namely Windows Movie Maker or Muvee Auto
Producer. Both of these programs are easy to use, and you can always upgrade
for more features, styles and special effects.
If you decide to
produce your own personal video, make it simple. Give a brief introduction
about yourself, which you think may be of interest to the viewer, such as your
age, occupation, education and income level, special interests or hobbies,
physical attributes or other characteristics and contact information. You
want to piqué the audiences’ interest in you and not overshadow your
video with long-winded talk. When putting together your video, a 30 to 60
second promo should be adequate.
Adding music to your
personal clip is a big plus. However, be careful. Just because the music is in
the public domain, or is free music, does not mean you have the right to use
that song in your video. Purchase royalty free music to be on the safe side.
With royalty free
music, you pay a one-time fee for a particular melody. You pay no extra fees.
You have permission to use that music on any of your commercial motion picture
productions, broadcast, cable and satellite, TV and radio commercials,
trailers, and promotional DVDs. As a rule, you will have a lifetime right
to use that composition. Of course, there may be other conditions for using
that royalty-free tune. Some online sites may offer music for personal or
commercial use. Before buying any music, read the license agreement.
Royalty-free music
albums or compact discs are usually more expensive than single tracks, but
single tracks can also be pricey. An alternative may be royalty-free loops,
which are usually the least expensive. A music loop is a sample of streaming
music. Loopsound Royalty Free Music Library offers a wide choice of music
loops that will fit into any budget. Royalty Free Music offers a broad variety
of music tracks, and loops, and BBM Royalty Free Music has music tracks,
sound effects and flash loops.
When searching for
royalty-free music, it is very important to comparison shop. The prices for
these royalty-free melodies can vary from $9.95 to $99.00. Of course,
most royalty-free sites offer subscriptions that will give you access
to thousands of music tracks and sound effects. Prices can start at $299.95.
Many royalty-free
sites offer free music for personal, educational and non-profit undertakings.
To take advantage of these services, you will have to complete and send an
application form to download their free music, sound or special effects.
Once you have
produced your personal video, you can upload your clip to the many video
streaming and social network sites such as YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook.
