Music Choices

Our first choice of music was a song called "Noir", we thought it worked well but after some audience feedback they said it was too dramatic so we decided to go for something a bit more modern and contemporary.
After much searching we decided on a song by slipknot, the lyrics are about love and drinking to cover your sorrows, this definately fits with the theme of our project.

We then had to apply for permision to use the music, we have to pay for the royalties to use it. We visited the PRS website, this is an example of the form we would have to fill out;


Film Title- Imposter
Context of music use - audio for the background of the opening sequence

Overall budget - £16
Territory of exploitation - worldwide
Rights required - Cinema, DVD and TV
License term - In perpetuity
Music Title - Snuff

This form is sent to the people at PRS and they meet with the artist and talk about costs and rights.
