Adding sound to my film

I decided to use Florence & The Machine's 'Dog Days are Over' as background music to my film. I added it using Final Cut Pro:



As you can see I have imported the music I downloaded and dragged it below my film. I tested it out and found it fits the film really well and was easy to apply to it. Additionally I have added a typewriter sound effect from Final Cut Pro's own sound effects to cover the text appearing on screen. This additional sound effect has given variation to my film as otherwise it could be quite boring to not hear any realistic sound effects.

I also kept the original sounds from each clip, but changed the volume on them so they didn't clash with the music or annoy the audience. The reason I kept the sounds was to make the film appear more natural (and also not like a music video). As my film is based around natural life I didn't want to divert it form that by messing around with the sound too much, plus I think it adds enjoyment to the film as viewers can relate to everything still.
