Hi.
Im about 1/5th of the way through shooting my summer feature movie and Ive begun doing some rough cuts of the scenes ive shot. This gives me lots of time to think about music for the film.
I am using my friends help to 'score' the move most of the way though but there are one or two parts where I will be using very popular music as the soundtrack (ie, The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy for the ending credits).
Does anyone here know the deal with using copyrighted music ?
I dont plan to distribute this film, only to send it to festivals and use it on my showreel.
So is it okay to just go ahead and do this or do I need to pay royalites/obtain permission or anything like that ?
Thanks
