"One shot without editing, that is, the one take method, can show the feeling of the members operating the camera themselves, which is very three-dimensional and concentrated. It will also make the entire MV look smoother and more handsome..."
"Because of this shooting technique, when we choreograph, we combine some dance moves with camera movements. Several moves have to be coordinated with the camera lens..."
"The last group dance is one of the high tides of the whole song. The camera keeps turning around the crowd. As the camera turns, the people's faces should also turn, but it must be natural and not too deliberate..."
At this time, they were in the warehouse of an industrial school in Seoul, which was also the filming location for the music video of "Roar". Chi Kyung-won was explaining some things that needed to be understood during the filming, as well as some of his opinions.
At this time, all members had put on gray school uniforms lined with white shirt belts.
This concept of school uniforms was also proposed by Chi Jingyuan, and now it looks really good. Twelve people standing together look handsome and youthful.
They stood half a circle around Chi Jingyuan, listening to his explanation.
Chi Jingyuan is also dressed in the same way, wearing a black tie, a pair of dark red pull-back shoes, and a red baseball cap with the EXO logo on it, which has been dyed silver-gray.
The hair is vaguely exposed from the hat.
This is a brand new image designed by cody for his return in this reissue of the album.
The company VJ who was filming the behind-the-scenes video next to him carried a camera and kept filming them, capturing all Chi Jingyuan's words and actions verbatim. All these materials will be made into featurettes, and as "Roar"
Once released, post it online.
Chi Jingyuan's parts and scenes in "Wolf" are not that many, but he is the main focus of the song "Roar". Throughout the dance and MV scenes, his part is the one with the most.
Moreover, as the lyricist, composer and choreographer of this song, the provider of the mv concept, and half of the producers, Chi Jingyuan still has a great say in the song "Roar".
This time the MV company specially hired an experienced director to cooperate with him in shooting, in order to achieve the best effect in one shot.
Chi Jingyuan is considered half a PD. The main shooting methods and overall effects are designed by him, but the specific implementation is done by professionals.
"One shot to the end is very demanding on our overall dance rhythm and coordination. We can't make any mistakes from beginning to end. Let's get started."
The director and staff were ready and started filming.
The Roaring Choreographer was divided into two teams, but they were not differentiated according to the K and M teams.
The first six members of the team to appear were Chi Jingyuan, Wu Shixun, kai, chen, xiumin and tao, and the other six members appeared after the first chorus ended.
The shooting of Ohe Take is that the VJ is holding the camera and standing relatively close. It is imitated that the members themselves are filming with the camera. There is no editing or interruption in the whole process. One shot from beginning to end is the so-called one shot to the end.
This shooting method is the first of its kind in a Peninsula idol group's MV. If the results are good, it will definitely cause a great response and many imitators once it is released.
But filming is also very difficult, because without editing, if one person makes a mistake, everyone will basically have to start over.
The first few shots were mainly about getting used to this method, and at the same time the director asked some questions about their dancing.
…………
"Xiumin, when you take off the hat from Yuan's head, be more natural. Don't look at him, look at the camera."
"Everyone's eyes must be on the camera and not anywhere else."
…………
"Sehun, don't be too big when you turn the camera lens. Show some expression."
"Baekhyun, where are you looking? Look at the camera!"
…………
"Yuan, during the rap stage after the second chorus, the whole team formed a triangular position. You are the first one. You are very conspicuous. You should move a little harder."
“The choreography of using hand gestures to make ‘e,
Choreography becomes one of your trademarks."
…………
"In the last chorus stage of the group dance, when the camera is rolling, Yuan, your expression is a little exaggerated when you jump into the camera, and the strength of your gestures should be in place. I feel that this shot is really cool and attractive. It's
One of your killing parts.”
…………
Under the correction of director Chi Jingyuan himself, EXO filmed from the afternoon until late at night.
If there was an obvious mistake, I had to start over again. I danced almost 30 times without success. Every time, either he made a mistake or I made a mistake. I managed to complete it several times without making mistakes. The group dance may be a little uneven, but the overall effect
Nor can they be satisfied.
Shooting one shot to the end is really a bit painful, so I can only grind it out slowly.
"Kai, what's wrong with you?"
The result of the latest shooting was very good and it has met the expected requirements.
It's just that the hat fell off Kai's head when he stood up. Although he responded very promptly and picked up the hat while spinning in a circle, it did not affect the subsequent rhythm, but it was still a mistake anyway.
.
This time, the effect was really good. After shooting for so long, everyone was already very tired. Finally, everyone was in good condition. Kai's mistake made everyone couldn't help but look at him, and he stood there sternly.
, I don’t know what to say when facing everyone’s gaze.
"Try a few more times. If it doesn't work, just use this one. Although it's a bit of a joke, it doesn't affect the overall effect. Maybe it can become a good talk in the future."
Chi Jingyuan made a decision after discussing it with the director.
"Guilty, fighting!"
…………
After that, we filmed a few more times, but they couldn't achieve the same effect as before. The members were a little tired. Finally, after discussion, the company decided to use the version where Kai made the mistake. Although there were some interludes, the overall effect of that version was the best.
OK.
Because they are still active and have a lot of schedules, they have specially set aside time for this MV shooting. In addition to the Korean version, they also have to shoot several versions of the MV including the Korean version and the drama version. There is no time for them to take their time.
Grinded.
Within three days, EXO completed the filming of all the music videos for "Roar". At this point, the preparations for their follow-up reissue of the regular first album were completed, and the rest was post-production by the company.
In early July, SM Entertainment officially announced that EXO will return with the reissued album "Growl (Kiss & Hug)" in August. The trailer will be released on July 25th, the MV will be released on July 31st, and the recording will be on August 1st.
First stage, the album will be officially released on August 5th.
It is also emphasized that the title song "Growl" of the same name was written and composed by exo member Yuan, who also participated in the arrangement, choreography, concept design and MV shooting.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.
