Peninsula Asteroid

"One shot without editing, that is, the One Take method, can show the feeling of the members operating the camera in person, very three-dimensional and concentrated, and at the same time make the entire MV look smoother and more handsome...

"Because of this shooting method, when we choreographed, we combined some dance moves and camera movements, and several movements had 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. When the camera turns, the people's faces also turn accordingly, but it must be natural and not too deliberate..."

At this time, they are in the warehouse of an industrial school in Seoul, which is also the MV shooting location for "Roar". Chi Jingyuan is explaining some things that need to be understood for this shooting, as well as some of his opinions.

At this time, all members had already put on a gray suit school uniform, lined with white shirt belts.

The concept of this suit and school uniform was also proposed by Chi Jingyuan, and now it looks really good. Standing together, twelve people look handsome and youthful.

They stood in a half circle around Chi Jingyuan, listening to his explanation.

Chi Jingyuan was also dressed in the same outfit, with a black tie, a pair of dark red pull-back shoes on his feet, and a red baseball cap with the EXO logo painted on his head, which had been dyed silver-gray. Hair protruded faintly from the hat.

This is a brand new image that Cody designed for his comeback for this reissue album.

The VJ of the company who was shooting sideshows was carrying a camera on their shoulders, and kept filming them, capturing every word and action of Chi Jingyuan verbatim, and all these materials would be made into sideshows. After the release, a post will be sent to the Internet.

Chi Jingyuan's parts and shots in "Wolf" are not too many, but he is the main promoter of the song "Roar". In the whole dance and MV shots, his part is the one with the most.

Moreover, as the songwriter, composer and choreographer of this song, the provider of the MV concept, and one of the half-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 the shooting, in order to achieve the best effect in one shot.

Chi Jingyuan can be regarded as 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, this method has very high requirements for our overall dance rhythm and coordination. There must be no mistakes from the beginning to the end. Let's start."

The director and crew were ready to start filming.

The Roaring choreographer was divided into two teams, but not differentiated according to K's and M's teams.

The first team of six members to appear on the stage is Chi Jingyuan, Wu Shixun, Kai, Chen, Xiumin and Tao, and the other six members will appear after the first chorus.

The shooting of Ohe Take is that the VJ is holding the camera and standing in a relatively close place. The imitation is that the members are shooting with the camera themselves, without any editing or interruption. A shot from the beginning to the end is the so-called one shot to the end.

This shooting method is still the first in the MV of an idol group in the peninsula. If the shooting effect is good, once it is released, it will definitely arouse great repercussions and many imitators.

It's just that the difficulty of shooting is also very high, because without editing, if one person makes a mistake, everyone basically has to do it all over again.

The first few shots were mainly to get used to this method, and at the same time the director raised some questions about their dance.

…………

"Xiumin, when you take off the hat from Yuan's head, be natural, don't look at him, but look at the camera."

"All eyes should be on the camera, not anywhere else."

…………

"Sehun, when you make the movement of twisting the camera lens, don't be too big, show some expression."

"Baekhyun, where are you looking? Look at the camera!"

…………

"Yuan, at the rap stage after the second chorus, the whole team took a triangular position, and you were the first one. It was very conspicuous, and the movements should be a little stronger."

"The choreography of using hand gestures to make 'E, X, O' and at the same time announce the group name is very good. It has a feeling and has its own characteristics. I hope you pay attention to your expressions when you do it. This part of reporting the group name Choreography will become one of your hallmarks."

…………

"For the group dance in the last chorus stage, when the camera is turning, I hope that when you jump into the camera, your expression will be a little exaggerated, and the strength of your gestures should be in place. I think this shot is really handsome and attractive, yes One of your Killing parts."

…………

Under the correction of the director Chi Jingyuan himself, EXO filmed from the afternoon until late at night.

If there is an obvious mistake, I have to do it all over again. I danced almost 30 times without success. Every time it was either he made a mistake or I made a mistake. It was hard to complete a few times without making a mistake. The group dance may be a little uneven. The overall effect Can't satisfy them either.

The shooting of one shot to the end is really a bit tormented, so I can only grind it slowly.

"Kai, what's the matter with you?"

The effect of the latest shooting is very good and has met the expected requirements.

It’s just that the hat on Kai’s head fell off when he got up. Although he responded in a timely manner and picked up the hat while making a circle on the spot, it didn’t affect the follow-up beat, but it was still a mistake anyway. .

This time the effect was really good. After shooting for a long time, everyone was already very tired. Finally, everyone was in good condition. Kai’s mistake made everyone look at him, and he stood there awkwardly. , I don't know what to say in front of everyone's eyes.

"Try a few more times. If it doesn't work, use it this time. Although it's a bit of a funny episode, it doesn't affect the overall effect. Maybe it can become a good talk in the future."

After discussing with the director, Chi Jingyuan made a decision.

"Guilt, Fighting!"

…………

After that, I took a few more shots, but they couldn't achieve the previous effect. The members were already a little tired. After discussion, the company decided to use the version that Kai made a mistake. Although there were some episodes, the overall effect of that version was the best. OK

Because they are still in the activity period and have a lot of schedules, this MV shooting is also a special time. In addition to the Korean version, they also need to shoot several versions of the MV in Xia Wen and the drama version. I don’t have time to give them more time. Grind.

Within three days, EXO finished shooting all the MVs for "Roar". At this point, the preparations for the follow-up and re-release of their regular first album are announced to be completed, and the rest is the company's post-production.

At the beginning of July, SM officially announced that EXO will come back with the re-released album "GROWL (Kiss\u0026amp;Hug)" in August, and will release the trailer on July 25, the MV on July 31, August 1 The first stage was recorded in Japan, and the album was officially released on August 5.

And it is emphasized that the title song "Growl/Roar" 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.
