Original Songs

Post by Themovieman44 »

OKay say you want to use an original song for your film. Is this a good idea or say nay. Because I know a bunch of songwriters and I think that a good original song during closing credits would be good.

Personally, I think It would be great, but i find if its being used in closing credits, it has also been used here and there throughout a movie.

100% original = :mosh:

Just get them to do it for you, and have them relese you the rights to at lest use it in the movie, or pay them for it, like a buck if its free just to make it legel and such. Then go for it.

Well I mean I know alot of singer/songwriters with bands or something that could do a themed song for the film, I was just thinking that would be something cool.

I'm not even sure what you're asking here. I must've missed something.

So you want to have original music in a film? Yeah, that's the idea! I really think I missed something here...
Erm... yeah...

You should strive for originality! But using other musics is okay, try to get written consent before you use it in anything big.
