Music Makes Me Lose Control

Welp, we've made it past the first two weeks of blogging... Hurray!

Let's see what we have accomplished:

We have a couple ideas for the film

We reviewed our film basics

We learned that we need to create our own inspiration for ourselves

and... we officially met each other!

Sounds like a pretty good two weeks to me :)

Now it's time to investigate one of the most important elements in a film: SOUND

Can you imagine watching a film without music or sound effects? We would all be bored out of our wits! I really want to be able to include certain pieces of music, but I have no clue how music liscensing works.

I had to do some investigating to find my answers...

Basically, if I don't get the approval of the publishing company to play their music in my film, I could potentially get sued. *Intense Music Plays In the Background* (with music liscensing rights, of course)

No Worries! Luckily, I am a musician, so I might have to start composing my own original music.

Yikes!

Wish me luck,

Hannah
