21 guns

Hello everybody!!:)
        In this work we have put subtitles to a music video. The video that we chose is "21 guns" and to put subtitles we used the programe DotSub. Dot Sub is an online programme that offers facilities to transcribe and translate the videos you like and then you can translate the subtitles to other languages, such as Spanish and Basque.

        "21 guns" is a song by Green Day, this group is an American rock band that formed in 1987. The members of the band are Billie Joe Armstrong(vocals and guitar), Mike Dirnt(bass guitar and vocals) and Tré Cool(drums, percussion). Green Day has sold over 65 million records worldwide, 22 million of them in the United States alone. They also have won three Grammy Awards, Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for the song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".  We chose this song because we like it a lot and the things  it says are very beautiful and it transmits a lot of sentiment.
  
        We think that this task is very interesting and very useful looking to the future.

We hope you like!! (:
