PROJECT DETAILS (All fields are required)
Title
Artist
Licensee (State the name of the person or company that is seeking to license the song)
Production Name (State the name of the production - the title of the film, video project, TV show, or advertisement.)
Media Describe the media you plan on using to show your project - some examples include film festivals, TV, video, radio, and internet. If you are producing videos or DVDs, please list the number of copies that you plan to produce. If your media is going to be shown at a trade show or other such gathering, how many attendees will be present during the showing?
Synopsis And Scene Description Describe the scene in which you would like to use the song you are requesting. A brief synopsis of the entire project and a description of the particular scene with the music is a good place to start, but please be as specific as possible.
Featured Or Background Is the song being sung by one of your characters? Is it playing without any voiceover? That is likely a featured use. If, however, a song is playing in the background at low volume with narration over the top, that is likely background use.
Duration State the length of the music use in your project. If you are requesting multiple uses, state the length of each separately. For example, if you would like to use a 17 second clip of the song in the middle of your project and a 1 minute clip later on in the project, you would state the following - 0:17, 1:00.
Term State how long you would like to license the song for your project. Licenses for film festivals are generally issued for a term of 1 year. Rights to use a song in perpetuity allow the licensee to use the song in the project forever.
Territory State where you would like the rights to use music in your project. If your project will only screen in a particular city or at a particular festival, explain that here. If you would like to secure rights to show the project anywhere in the world, simply write world.
Options If you would like the option to purchase additional rights in the future, explain that here. For example, some producers license songs for a term of 1 year with an option to extend that term for an additional 6 months. Right before the term of the original license expires, the producer may exercise the option and receive rights for an additional 6 months at a fee that was already negotiated at the time of the original license. This saves the producer the time of having to renegotiate rights in order to continue using a song in a project.
Release / Air Date State the date your project will be released or first aired. If you do not know the exact date, please estimate to the best of your ability.
Music Budget The fee that is quoted depends on what rights you are asking for and the popularity of the artist/song.
