"The unedited one-shot to the end, which is Oake's approach, can show the feeling of the members operating the camera themselves, which is very three-dimensional and focused, and at the same time, it will also make the whole MV look smoother and more handsome......

"Because of this shooting technique, when we choreographed, we integrated 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 HighTides of the whole song, the camera keeps rotating around the crowd, the camera turns, and the human side must also turn, but it must still be natural, not too deliberate ......"

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

By this time, all the members had already put on a gray suit and 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, twelve people standing together, looking handsome and forceful, and very youthful.

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

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

It's a brand new look that Cody designed for his return to this reissue album.

VJ, the company that filmed the tidbits next to him, carried a camera and filmed them non-stop, filming all the words and actions of Chi Jingyuan word for word, and all these materials will be made into tidbits, which will be popped online after the release of "Roar".

There are not many parts and shots of Ji Jingyuan in "Wolf", but he is the main promoter of the song "Roar", and his part is the one with the most dance and MV shots.

And as the lyrics, composer and choreographer of this song, the provider of the MV concept, and one of the half producers, Chi Jingyuan still has a lot of say in the song "Roar".

This time, the MV company specially filmed an experienced director to cooperate with him in the shooting, in order to achieve the best effect in one shot.

Chi Jingyuan is half a PD, and the main shooting method and overall effect are designed by him, but the specific implementation is done by professionals.

"In the end, this method is very demanding for our overall dance rhythm and coordination, and there can be no mistakes from beginning to end, let's start."

The director and crew were ready and started filming.

The roaring choreography is divided into two teams, but not according to the teams of K and M.

The first team of six to appear was Ji Kyung-won, Oh Se-hoon, Kai, Xiumin, and Tao, and the other six were on the stage after the end of the first chorus.

OheTake's shooting is that the VJ is standing in a relatively close place with the camera all the time, and the imitation is that the members themselves are shooting with the camera, without any editing and interruption, and one shot from beginning to end, which is the so-called one-shot to the end.

This method of filming is the first of its kind in the MV of a peninsular idol group, and if it is filmed well, it will surely cause a lot of repercussions and many imitators once it is released.

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

The first few shoots were mainly about getting used to this method, and at the same time, the director asked some questions about their dance.

…………

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

"Everybody's eyes should be on the camera, not anywhere else."

…………

"Sehoon, don't make too big of a move to twist the camera lens, give some expression."

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

…………

"Yuan, in the Rap stage after the end of the second chorus, the whole team takes a triangular position, you are standing first, it is very conspicuous, and the movement is slightly stronger."

"The choreography that uses gestures to draw 'E, X, O' and report the name of the group at the same time is very good, it is very feeling and distinctive, Yuan, pay attention to your expression when you make it, the choreography of the name of the group in this paragraph will become one of your symbols."

…………

"In the group dance of the last chorus stage, when the camera is turning, Yuan, your expression is a little exaggerated when you jump into the camera, and the strength of the gestures is also in place, I feel that this shot is really handsome, very attractive, and it is a Killingpart of yours."

…………

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

There is a little obvious mistake to do it again, the whole dance almost 30 times without success, every time either he makes a mistake or I make a mistake, it is not easy to complete a few times without making a mistake, the group dance may be a little uneven, and the overall effect can not satisfy them.

The one-shot shooting to the end is really a bit painful, and it can only be grinded slowly.

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

The results of the most recent shoot are good and have already met the expected requirements.

It's just that Kai's hat fell off when he got up, although he coped with it in a timely manner, making a circle on the spot and picking up the hat at the same time, which didn't affect the subsequent beat, but anyway, this was also a mistake.

This time the effect is really good, everyone is already very tired after filming for a long time, and finally everyone is in the state, Kai's mistake makes everyone can't help but look at him, and he also stands there in a daze, facing everyone's eyes and doesn't know what to say.

"Let's try a few more times, if it doesn't work, I'll use this one, although it's a bit of a laughing episode, but it doesn't affect the overall effect, maybe it can become a beautiful talk in the future."

Ji Jingyuan made a decision after discussing it with the director.

"Inner, Fighting!"

…………

After that, it was filmed several times, but it couldn't achieve the previous effect, and the members were already a little tired, and finally after discussion, the company decided to use the version that Kai made a mistake, although there were some episodes, but the overall effect of that version was the best.

Because they are still in the active period, and there are a lot of schedules, this MV shooting is also a special time, in addition to the Korean version, there are also several versions of the MV that have to shoot the summer version and the drama version, so there is no time for them to grind slowly.

Within three days, EXO had completed all of the music video shoots for "Roar", and at this point, the preparations for the follow-up reissue of their official album were announced, and all that remained was the company's post-production.

At the beginning of July, SM officially announced that EXO will return with the reissued album "GROWL" in August, and will release the trailer on July 25, the MV on July 31, the first stage recorded on August 1, and the album will be officially released on August 5.

And it is emphasized that the title song of the same name "Growl/Roar" was written and composed by EXO member Yuan, and participated in the arrangement, choreography, concept design and MV shooting.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.
