1 00:00:00,370 --> 00:01:24,700 Christmas is around the corner and, as every year, we prepare a song for the Christmas 2 00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:25,700 festival. 3 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,700 This year we will not be able to celebrate the festival, which does not mean that we 4 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:30,700 cannot prepare a song. 5 00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:38,700 So let's see with all the luxury of details how this preparation has been. 6 00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,700 This year we could not celebrate the festival either. 7 00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:49,700 doesn't mean we could not prepare a song, so let's see in detail how the set out was. 8 00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:54,700 En la clase de música, Jorge nos hizo una propuesta para llevar a cabo una canción del grupo 9 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,700 y realizar muy bien un gráfico. La canción podíamos elegirla nosotros y también la coreografía. 10 00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:06,700 To do so, he posted a chart in our classroom. We could edit it including names, 11 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,460 name, surname, title of the song, and link of it. 12 00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:13,639 Además, no podíamos elegir cualquier canción. 13 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,819 Teníamos una serie de requisitos, no muy estrictos, 14 00:02:16,819 --> 00:02:20,520 pero sí era importante cumplirlos. 15 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,939 For example, he went past some days to the Philippines, 16 00:02:23,939 --> 00:02:25,740 and once we did it. 17 00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:27,740 He select three high songs. 18 00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:31,860 They were the most successful ones. 19 00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:36,159 Después, en clase, tuvimos que buscar dos entre los que 20 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:41,159 and so we came to a song in common and to our liking. 21 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:49,159 It's important to know that the chosen song could not be longer than five minutes. 22 00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:57,159 It was also necessary to have easy lyrics to sing in order to win on its performances. 23 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,159 For the sixth A, the chosen song was Yo contigo, tú conmigo de morar 24 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:07,159 and for the sixth one, our song by Moussé Perinet. 25 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:13,159 We must admit it was a difficult decision with similar number of votes between them. 26 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:18,159 The list of songs was long, very long, more than 20 songs. 27 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,159 The main reason was to avoid repeating the song that another partner had already put 28 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,159 and thus have a varied list to choose from. 29 00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:33,159 The style was also varied, from pop songs to Christmas songs. 30 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:41,159 La canción seleccionada no tenía que seguir necesariamente este último criterio a pesar de ser interpretada por Navidad. 31 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:45,159 Other songs we took into account were 32 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:56,159 Girasoles of Rosalén, El mismo sol of Álvaro Soler, Mi religión of Riel Moliner and We will rock you of Queen. 33 00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:05,159 A continuación os vamos a detallar algunas de las razones que nos han llevado a la elección de las canciones. 34 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:17,160 Incesto a the song Yo contigo, tú conmigo was chosen because we like pretty general. It is a very famous song and we better not delete it. 35 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:31,160 More specifically, other reasons were that it is a march song since it has a lot of rhythm, allowing us to think about some good dance steps and it gave us room to create the scenes of the censors for their interpretation. 36 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:43,160 In Six Feet, the chosen song is our song, which is also known as Con Flores. We chose it because we think it is a happy and funny song. 37 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:53,160 También cabe destacar que aunque fue lanzada hace 5 años, su ruido tendencia tiene un suceso, por tanto, nos resultaba muy conocida a todos. 38 00:04:53,160 --> 00:05:05,160 Another aspect we must bear in mind is the way we organize ourselves. From the beginning, we work in small groups. 39 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Five groups per class and we made them according to the working teams. 40 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,579 We already have in the rest of the subgroup. 41 00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:20,319 Como es un trabajo en grupo, hemos intentado colaborar un poco entre todos para que nos saliera el mejor resultado posible. 42 00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:27,680 So we all have participated in everything, from the rap script, writing, exchanging ideas and selecting the songs. 43 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:33,779 Hemos aprendido la canción a base de repetir. Jorge nos envió a estudiar la canción en casa. 44 00:05:33,779 --> 00:05:39,779 It helped us by giving us options. We could learn it through Spotify, Google Classroom, YouTube. 45 00:05:40,779 --> 00:05:47,779 We have tried it a lot of times in class. We have even used different ways. 46 00:05:47,779 --> 00:05:53,779 Like switching the lights off, way singing to better concentrate. 47 00:05:54,779 --> 00:05:58,779 In the first essays we had to focus on the lyrics and the instrumental part. 48 00:05:58,779 --> 00:06:04,779 After several decisions, one aspect that the musicians wanted us to work on more was the sound of the voice. 49 00:06:05,779 --> 00:06:14,779 We have to say that from the beginning we made a big effort to improve the sound performance based on the teacher's directions. 50 00:06:14,779 --> 00:06:21,779 Along with the singing interpretation of the song, we have carried out two works related to it, which are the choreography and the music. 51 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:29,779 In order to work with choreography, the teacher asked for volunteers to get responsible for 52 00:06:29,779 --> 00:06:30,779 the steps. 53 00:06:30,779 --> 00:06:36,779 It was an opportunity to create a better choreography according to our lives. 54 00:06:36,779 --> 00:06:42,779 At the end of the day, no one is better than us to know the dance steps that we like the most. 55 00:06:42,779 --> 00:06:48,779 The rehearsals were given during recess, since the courtyard was the ideal place to have 56 00:06:48,779 --> 00:06:50,779 more space to practice. 57 00:06:50,779 --> 00:06:59,779 As we already know the song, it wasn't complicated to remember the song while embedding the stick for the choreography. 58 00:06:59,779 --> 00:07:05,779 To make the song based on the song, we first had to know what it was exactly. 59 00:07:05,779 --> 00:07:16,779 We came up with the conglomerate. It is a sequence of pictures which appear in order with the objective of representing the song itself. 60 00:07:16,779 --> 00:07:23,779 In fact, it is used as guidance in order to understand the lyrics. 61 00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:31,779 This work was carried out both in art and music sessions. 62 00:07:32,779 --> 00:07:38,779 Each group has a worksheet with pieces squares where we must include the songs. 63 00:07:38,779 --> 00:07:43,779 We have up to 14 songs to represent the song. 64 00:07:43,779 --> 00:07:50,779 Todas las clases acordamos teníamos que realizar cada corte, que era alrededor de 20 o 30 segundos aproximadamente. 65 00:07:52,779 --> 00:07:57,779 And then each group focused on what they wanted to represent in each scene. 66 00:07:57,779 --> 00:08:02,779 Thus, they hold their words on the same idea, but we will get different results. 67 00:08:03,779 --> 00:08:10,779 Antes de finalizar, nos detenemos en las grabaciones, trabajo que nos lleva mucho tiempo realizar pero que nos ha encantado. 68 00:08:10,779 --> 00:08:17,779 We enjoyed representing the different situations we agreed when making the graphic script. 69 00:08:17,779 --> 00:08:22,779 We only waited and repeated the scenes as many times as we decided, 70 00:08:22,779 --> 00:08:25,779 until we were happy with the result. 71 00:08:25,779 --> 00:08:32,779 It was very fun because previously in class we had agreed that we were going to record in each sequence. 72 00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:42,779 However, when we went to a program and we started recording, we got on top! 73 00:08:42,779 --> 00:08:50,779 We were so motivated that new ideas emerged. Some we liked more and we decided to change our initial idea. 74 00:08:50,779 --> 00:08:59,779 To sum up our speech, we want to thank all the students and teachers' participation in order to get the call. 75 00:08:59,779 --> 00:09:16,019 We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
