You should check out Moby's (huge) collection of music that he WANTS you to use...
Watch the vid below to find out more about it...
Googling will help you find many more resources of royalty free music.
Here is a link where you can check whether or not it's legitimate to use some other copyrighted music with your film.
My brother makes royalty free music -- and if you'd like to use something from his library -- stock20.com -- I could probably get you a good deal!

Community Involvement Advocacy
As you remember, much of your grade for "Community Involvement" comes from the advocacy and support of your peers. Now is the time for you to spend a few moments advocating on their behalf, again.
As I asked you to do last time, you should type the name of the person you are advocating for first, and then on the next line, describe how this person helped your learning or the learning of others in the class. You are not obliged to advocate for everyone, but you may advocate for as many people as you'd like. You *must* advocate for yourself. Describe (in first person voice) how you helped the community learn.
Feel free to look here to see the example I provided at midterm.
Your Community Involvement Advocacy is due in my email inbox by noon on Friday, February 26th at five pm. My email is listed on the top of the paper syllabus. I will not accept any late sheets. Please title your email "MMS ComInv A" either "noon" or "one" based on your class time. If you do not turn in a community involvement advocacy sheet, your own community involvement grade (assigned by me) will automatically be reduced by 15% (*note that you will lose *more* points this time than last.
An index with your classmates pictures and names is available in Doc Sharing in E-Companion. Please refer to that sheet as you type up your community advocacy for each other.

Examples of Media Stories
You'll notice that I've posted a number of media stories from previous classes below. I'm not claiming that these media stories are perfect, but all of them have merits worth noting.
Stories are best at inciting something deep and emotional. They're best when they're about connection and meaning and shared understanding. So I'd definitely recommend that you approach these stories with the kind of hospitality that allows those kinds of responses to emerge.
*AFTER* these stories have done their best work on you -- you may want to think about them from a storyteller's perspective. You may even want to (I offer with trepidation) think about them from your student perspective -- and look over the rubric I've already provided for you.
If you have a question about your media story after you've watched some of these stories -- let me know!
