At my high school, all seniors have to undertake a big project in order to graduate. The neat thing is that we can do pretty much anything we want, so long as it's challenging. I decided to make a documentary about the concept of home (as opposed to just a place where you live), and the different cultural geographical points of view for the concept of "home." I'm filming in a bunch of different cities, and I want to include music to characterize the uniqueness of each of the cities.
I have to basic questions:
1) Would I have to gain permission from the artists in order to use their music in my film? Like I said, it's a project for school, so I wouldn't be making any profit. If it does really well I might enter it into a couple of local film festivals, but again, I wouldn't be doing it for profit.
2) If I do need to gain the artists' permissions, how would I go about doing that?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
