About music for films

Music for films is often referred to as cinematic music. This type of music is created to accompany a film. It can also be referred to as a film score or soundtrack. Such music encompasses a wide range of musical styles, from somber music that creates a melancholy mood to dramatic music that heightens the tension of a scene. Epic music is often played in action-adventure or science fiction films that contain battle scenes. Some film composers such as Sergey Bryukhno, Konstantin Soukhovetski and Polina Nazaykinskaya create atmospheric pieces to support the different sequences in a film.

What licenses do you need to use music in film?

The music licensing process for using copyrighted music in films involves a few steps. You need both the synchronization license and the master use license. The synchronization license grants the right to use the music composition in connection with an audiovisual project. It is usually issued by a music publisher or composer. The master license, on the other hand, transfers the rights to the original sound recording of a musical work to the licensee. Usually, it is the record company that owns this copyright. Oclassica offers you a convenient licensing procedure.
