I decided to combine two of my CAS experiences in creativity—making YouTube videos and singing. I really like the song “pov” by Ariana Grande and wanted to film a cover of that song. To start out, I learned the chords on my piano, which allowed me to familiarize the lyrics and melody. After practicing a few times, I turned on my camera and began filming. It was until then that I realized how hard it was to perfect the cover, especially when it has to be one take. I was always able to find something wrong with the singing, the piano, or just the video clip itself. Eventually, I accepted that the cover will not be perfect and I shouldn’t be so hard on myself as this is the first cover I have made.

The editing process was easier as I just had to organize my clips together. After posting the video, my peers were able to give me feedback. Regarding the content, I think I should be more confident in myself. As for the quality, I want to use a better device to record for the video and audio to be clearer.
