Hey guys

I am currently working on a film, which I will submit it to schools like Chapman and USC as part of my portfolio. My question is can I use copyright music as part of this film? I am not going to submit this film to any film festivals.

Songs I want to use are 1) Reverie by Illenium 2) Johnny Meets June by Shelby Lynne

Thanks

There are numerous sites that offer free music for use with student films. I’d research those for suitable tracks.

Hmm, I would err on the side of caution and say no. However, you might want to send an email to these schools and see what they say. I know that several of the art schools to which my D applied welcomed portfolio questions.

Another option is to go on youtube and search for Marvin Hamlisch film scoring contest. There are many people who’ve uploaded their submissions. Most are students just like you. You might be able to find someone quite willing to compose original music for your films.
