A playful rhythm represents a happy go lucky story, whereas, the dark piano music cautions the viewers, bewaring them of an upcoming danger.

Oftentimes, we believe it is the storyline that is making our heart skip a beat and our eyes cry a river. We give the entire credits to the protagonists.

However, amidst all this drama, we completely forget how effectively the background music held us onto our seats, shifted our focus to the right things and succeeded in giving us severe goose bumps at the right moments.  

Marketing videos are no different since their ultimate goal as well is to establish an unforgettable emotional connect with the audience and get them to take the desired action.  

That is why I thought of writing this blog and tipping you on how to find the perfect copyright free music for your marketing videos:

Depending on the genre of your video, you can choose the perfect notes. For example, in marketing, video makers or content creators usually go for product demos, advertisements and basic storytelling to convey their services.

Even with $10 in your pockets, you can buy yourself some amazing pieces of legal music from online music libraries. Even the cheapest musical compositions available on these websites are way better than the free background music.

In a video you can use music bites in numerous ways to catch viewers' attention. For example, if a fast paced music track stops suddenly, it piques one's neurons and makes him/her wonder what has just happened or what is going to happen.

Putting break to a consistent rhythm evokes people's emotions, makes them stop in their track and take notice.

6. Rely on Famous Music:

We all recognise the music piece that made Pirates of the Caribbean so famous. Plus, we all love it too. As far as i am concerned, no matter where I am, if I hear the tune play somewhere, I will get curious and will want to know what is going on. The same is true with the buyers around the world.

Famous music is famous because for years people have loved it and have memorised it by heart. Brands can use old popular songs that are now in public domain.
