Hey again, Cambridge! Today's focus for the blog is what on Earth I'm going to do when it comes to music and audio. The music in a movie is such an underestimated tool to create the mood desired for a scene, and most people don't realize how much consideration goes into it. I know I want the music in the background of my opening to be classical music to make clear the time period in which I want my opening to take place. The only thing I don't know is how to find the right piece.
I'm aware of all the copyright-free music out there that I could easily use, but they're usually not very well made. I am also aware that if I want to use anything else, I have to obtain written approval to use a song. THAT would be even more difficult. My plan is to just find a song I want and then I'll figure out if I need permission (and how to get it).
First thing I did was simply search for "classical music to use in my own film." I then came across this website where you can pay to use artist's songs and get the rights to use it immediately instead of having to wait for a written reply.

I thought I just stumbled across the greatest thing ever. The solution to all my problems! Then, I checked the pricing.
However, I subsequently found out about the public domain. The public domain is music that is no longer protected by copyright. As in the owner or creator of the music has been dead for a very, very long time. You know what kind of musicians have been dead for a very, very long time? Ones who made classical music. Jackpot!
Songs I liked most as options:
- Debussy-Arabesque No. 1
- Sibelius-Andante Festivo
- Consolations, S. 172: No. 3, Lento placido
