Final Piece - Music Rights

Our group had a choice in terms of music; we either used an uncopyrighted piece of music; however this may not be of high quality nor will it be recognisable to the audience, or, we use a copyrighted piece of music that an audience may recognise and be persuaded to watch the full film; however we would need to ask permission to use it. We chose "The Prodigy - First Warning". This is a fast track relating to how the character are in a chase and rarely stationary.
To be able to use the song we chose, we first had to e-mail the production company in charge of managing and distributing the song.
The e-mail sent had to ask for permission to use the song but also included a sentence that allowed us to use the track if they didn't reply:
"If we do not receive a reply, this will tell us that we can use the song".
Although a very quick endeavour, it was vital to our project. If this wasn't done then we might not of been able to use the song at all.
