[Fmpro] song placement vs score

[Phil Kelly]

Hi Jo Ann:

I do think the term that applies to what you're asking is "song 
placement" as opposed to actually writing film score material  specific 
to a given fim ,and yes, there are people who specialize in handling 
just the type thing you need.

You'll need to do some research on just who would be a proper match for 
your talents, and BE CAREFUL ..there as many bottom feeders in this end 
of the business as there are reputable ones. Sign nothing without 
consulting an entertainment attorney ..and also yes, you will have to 
join either BMI or ASCAP ..both as an artist (and as a publisher if no 
one else has the rights to your material. )

Good luck!
