Finding Footage Tutorial

When looking for footage to use it is very important to think about the look and feel that you are trying to portray. For my story, I wanted a more dark feel. Because of this, I tried to find footage that had more bluish hues and darker lighting. 

When finding my footage, a simple thing that I did was just google the things I wanted to see in the video and see what came up in a video search. From this, I just began to look through these sites and search these sites themselves. Some sites that I find useful are YouTube.com and Vimeo.com

Finding my stock footage was more difficult. The first place I looked was archive.org. On here I again searched what I was looking for in the video and scrolled through some to see if they had what I was looking for. This can be very time-consuming and difficult though. Another thing I did was thought of various old films I had seen that might have clips I could used. I looked those up in YouTube and used them. Then I would look at the related videos to find other similar videos. 

Once I found the clips I wanted to use, I put their url into clipconverter.cc which converts them to an MP4 on your computer.
