I will comment on one aspect of this.

COPYRIGHT

You can use any audio and video that YOU originate without any problem, and you can use material in the public domain.

However, if ANY of the music, audio, or video used in the film is written, composed, or otherwise owned by any other person or publishing company, and is NOT in the public domain, you must obtain the copyright owner's permission in writing to use it in your video.

It doesn't matter if this is a for profit movie or a completely non-profit project. You can not use other people's creations without their permission. No so called "fair use" laws apply to what you're doing. Fair use is very narrow in the scope of what it permits and is reserved mainly to educational purposes and in a classroom setting.

Contact the Harry Fox Agency to obtain the licenses for the songs you mentioned. You might find that HFA is asking too much for the licenses to some of the songs. Get the similar permissions for the video that is not yours.

If you proceed without getting the license to use the songs, there is a real possibility that you can and would be sued. In addition, any TV station or Cable channel may require proof that licenses are cleared and all permissions have been obtained so that they are not liable in a lawsuit.

Several years back, I wanted to do a video of a song I wrote. A buddy was helping me. We wanted to use a few short segments from a commercially done movie that was being distributed to the public totally free of charge. I wrote to the company which owned the video's copyright and asked. They refused to allow us to use the short video segments we wanted to use even though they would not lose any money since they were giving the movie away for free. End result, we had to cancel the video project and simply stick with the audio version. They would not even consider selling us the license to use less than one minute of their movie.

Be very cautious if you can not obtain the license. If you proceed and the copyright owner finds out about your unlawful use, you can find yourself hiring a lawyer and planning a courtroom defense.
