Finding Images

To find relevant images you can look on Global Commodities websites, Wikimedia Commons, WikiArt, or a major museum websites such as the MET or the National Gallery of Victoria.

Always review the policies for image credit before using an image you find online. Some images may be shared without any citations, others will ask you to give credit to the creator, some may only be used for educational purposes (you may use these in this assignment), and some might not allow sharing at all. 

Finding SFX and Background Music

You can find several databases of free sound effects and royalty free music online where you can download audio files to use in your video. Museum digital collections can also be a great resource for free-to-use sounds for educational projects.

As with images, always review the policies for sound credit before using a sound you find online. Some clips may be shared without any citations, others will ask you to give credit to the creator, some may only be used for educational purposes (you may use these in this assignment), and some might not allow sharing at all.
