In the short films the music can play as important role as characters, setting, props etc. It sets a certain mood of the character so it is much easier for audience to understand his/her motifs. However each piece of music has an author who owns copyright protected by the law. It means that he/she is the only one to have the right for benefiting from the result of his intellectual activity and other people, as a general rule, can't use the work without his consent. In order to use the music of any artist or composer, it's important to sign a license agreement in which a permission is given to paste the artist's music into the film. How it happens, normally you go on the musician's main site in order to ask them about your project and why you want to paste the music you need. After that, maybe in a couple of days, the agency gives a permission. Talking about the price of copyright, everything depends on the certain artist, sometimes you have to pay money in order to get a certificate for copyright, but there are also some musicians or composers who give this opportunity for free. The main thing is that they have to be sure, for what purpose the music is used.
If there are issues with money, there's another way of using the music you want. It can be created by different band/artist so it will not be considered as the original song so mostly it's priceless to download such ''processing'' into the short film, mostly without being judged for breaking the copyright laws.
