Multiple Uses of a Song

If a producer uses a song more than once in a motion picture, the fees charged by music publishers will be higher than if the song is used only once. The duration of each of the uses is also important, as four uses of less than 20 seconds each is usually less costly to a film producer than four uses of one minute or more. The importance of the song to the plot development or movement of the film (e.g., if it becomes a signature song for an important character or if it becomes thematic of a certain reoccurring point of the film, such as the first time two lovers saw each other) can also be a factor that raises the price. Obviously, it is important to secure from the film producer an overall plot summary and specific scene descriptions when negotiating fees for multiple uses of a song in a film, as you must be aware of how the song is to be used before you can give an intelligent price quote.
