musics and soundtracks

Regarding to Emilly's research of using a famous music or soundtrack, we need to pay about $500 for the copyright.

But in my research, things go like this (email):

  • Firstly, some general information about synchronisation, which is the copyright licensing term for the use of music in audiovisual media. Synchronisation licensing is usually administered directly by the owners of the copyrights on the music involved. (There is no central organisation like APRA/AMCOS administering this area in general.) There will usually be Australian contacts, even when a composition or recording is originally from elsewhere.
  • There are two kinds of copyright which may be involved:
  1. - the copyright on the musical composition. This copyright is usually administered by a publishing company, on behalf of the writer/s of the music.
  2. - the copyright on the sound recording (if an existing sound recording is being used). This copyright is usually administered by the record company which produced the recording.
  • You may also know that there can be exceptions to this rule if a production is made as part of a course of study, eg by a student making a project for assessment, or by a teacher making course materials. However, if a production made for such a purpose is also to be used in any other way (particularly any way involving screening before an audience) permission is required as above. To make this film for use as your assessment project, you will not need permission
  • For further information about the use of music for educational purposes, you can consult the APRA/AMCOS Print Music and Educational Licensing Department (print@apra.com.au or 02 9935 7900).
actually, I have already asked my friend to compose some of suitable music/soundtracks for us, I am still waiting for that.
I think our musics/soundtracks will be like these styles:
  • sad, depressed, moody
  • confusing, imaginative
  • dizzy
  • relaxed, light and hope
