Publishing rights are the rights to use a piece of music that have to be obtained from the people who own the copyright to the piece of music. Publishing rights are the right to the lyrics and composition and only exists after the music or words have been recorded or written down. As opposed to a recording license, this needs to be obtained from the person who performed the piece of music. For example the use of a cover recording of a song. The Recording rights will need to come from the performer.
To clear a piece of music so you can use it in a film you would need to contact the publishers and find out who owns the rights to the music. Then you would need to get permission from them to use the music. Often you will need to pay for this and it can be very expensive. Alternative methods are using license free music. There are websites that people can put there music on and you can use them freely. For my film i used a friend who i knew made music and asked him directly if i could use it in my film. He was happy for me to do so.
If the composer has been dead for over 70 years then copyright expires and you dont need to seek clearance for the composition. However you will still need to get clearance from the rights holder of the recording to use it.
Incidental music works as the soundtrack to a play, film, video game, tv programme, radio show or something that isn't primarily musical. It is less common for music in film to be referred to as incidental music but more often as the 'sound track' or 'score'

MY CHOICE OF MUSIC
https://soundcloud.com/bcidemusic/lay-low
I choice this music because i knew that a large portion of film was dialog so straight away i knew i would need a neutral instramental track. I thoiught this one would be suited because it has a repetetive tempo which reflected the mundane atmosphere of a school but i think it also had an underlying tone of tension which added to the atisipation something unusual was going to happen.
and it was not likely to over power the voice over and dialog in the film.
