Put an unanswered question beside any missing permission. You may draw by hand or use a document; no recording software is required. Then write a 150–250 word response to the Evening Train filmmaker. Explain which interests need clearance, ask for three missing details about the proposed use, and identify who will handle the next step. Do not quote a final fee yet. Submit the map and response together. Check that the cleared songs each total 100 percent and that each recording has its own ownership record. Keep Omar’s original contribution and the unresolved sample separately identified for After the Bell. Compare your calculations with the worked example before moving on. Keep this map for the final catalog presentation.",
