Ok, so I'm relatively new to all this, but optimistic and eager to learn!
I am currently working on a low/no budget short film that, when finished, I would ultimately like to enter into film festivals.
I have done a lot of research into all the aspects of filmmaking, especially the legal stuff (which can get so confusing with all this grey stuff inbetween, I know!). However, I am yet to find an answer to this question. I hope someone can help shed light on it
I want to have a music box playing in my film. I know there are some good royalty free/free to use tracks out there, but I would really like to be able to use the music from the actual music box! I know it is a piece from swan lake. I know swan lake was written in like the 19th century so this would make it public domain. However...
Would I be able to record the music box playing? The music box has no markings or company name, so could I legally record the sound?
I know this probably sounds confusing... I think I have confused myself! But thanks for reading anyways
