Use Somebody Cover

So, according to my plan, I will do some covers with my older brother. But, since my brother now is not here anymore. I have to do it with someone else. So, I decided to do it with a friend of mine, he's one of the medical students here in Moscow. 

To choose a song was very hard because when I know the song, he doesn't know the song, and vice versa. So, since it was our first ever recorded cover, we chose the song Use Somebody by Kings of Leon. We chose this song because it's easy to play on the guitar and also easy to sing. We chose the easy song first, so that we can develop through times.

So, when we have decided we practiced a bit, cutting some parts and try not to copy exactly the way the original singer sang it, it's a cover anyway. We actually took a lot of video because sometimes he forgot some parts and I forgot as well. Then we would just started to laugh. It was really enjoying making this cover. I will absolutely make more covers. And I used the Windows Movie Maker to edit this video a little bit. It was my first time editing a video, to be honest. 

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved by making this cover are :

• Planned and initiated activities, I planned this and ask him whether he has time to make cover with me, and obviously he did and also asked another friend whether he can record us
• Worked collaboratively with others, he asked how I want him to play the chords, different ways or just the same, we put our ideas
• Developed new skills, my first ever time editing a video!
