Licensing existing music into a film is often more complicated than a lot of people realize. From choosing the correct song, types of music you can access, rights needed and even the fees commanded there are a lot of considerations to be made if you want to include music in a film. This webinar aims to clear up some of the confusion, delve into how music synchronization works and offer practical solutions and best practices for filmmakers.
The first challenge is to understand the types of music you can access & the rights you need to obtain to use it. This relates not just to the rights and terms you need for your film but also how the rights of the song are broken down and who you need to approach for these. It’s important to understand what affects how much you pay for a song, the differences between licensing for in film and trailer/promotional use; the more a filmmaker knows about what to expect the easier you’ll find the licensing conversations and allow you to make the best and most budget-efficient decisions for your film.
