Music copyright issues P1

1) Right of use
Publishing rights - 
If the Music you're intending to you has already been released and published through a label, then you must get consent to legally use their music in your movie if you want to use their composition. 
Recording rights- 
You must get a license from the people/person who originally recorded the track. You will need to hunt down the owner and ask them for permission.

If you don't get license to use music off the owner/creator you can face trying to be sued by the owner as you will be selling their work without their permission. 

You will need to make sure you clear any music used, if background music has been captured Eg. a Radio. if it was unintentional music and has been kept to add atmosphere it is incidental. If the music has been intentionally used and put in place you will need to gain clearance to use it.

If the Creator of the music has died you will need to source out the owner of the piece in most cases it will be the record label which the artist was signed to when they made the track.

My Music choice
I Created my soundtrack myself using garage band loops this way i could get the right BPM i wanted for my clip and would set the mood to how I wanted it. My music piece was very basic featuring one sound effect a long with a hip hop drum beat.
As i made my music i did not need to get any permission to use it.
