Christen's Art Blog: P.1 Use of Music in Film

RIGHTS OF USE

1) whats the difference between publishing rights and recording rights?

Publishing copyrights only exist if the music or words have been written down or recorded by the artist. Although recording copyrights in sound are performed by e.g. a pianist recording Beethoven famous sonatas.

2) how could you go about clearing a piece of music for use in film?

If the music you want to use is not been pre-recorded then you should address the compose who is likely to have written the lyrics and are not signed to a record label or published, the rights holder would probably say yes. As its away to get their music out and advertised. However if the music has been pre-recorded you would need to contact the rights holder who would probably be the producer or generally a record company.
3) can you use music if the composer has died?
If the composer of the original music has been dead for seventy years or over the copyright licence has been expired. However its likely that the rights are owned by the record company, so would have to contact them to allow you to use the music you want.
4) what is incidental music?
Incidental music is when the music is been used in the film as background music that creates a mood.

CREATIVE COMMONS
1) what is creative commons?
creative commons are a non-profitable organisation, they help to branch out towards creative works for other to lean on legally and to share.
2) Why does it exist?
they exist to realise copyrights to individual or groups that wish to experiment with creative works.

YOUR CHOICE OF MUSIC
Theres a scene where the animals are flying, i chose more of an up beat tempo. We used the software called garageband (the picture below shows how we did this, and what instrumentals we used). This genre would be defined as rock.
