rebounding back.Then he was kicked again, flying into the wall with another loud crash. The practice room door seemed to be scared, shaking and cowering, afraid to fight back, hiding off to the side.B..."The one-take approach, which is Oake's style, can express the feeling of members operating the camera themselves. It's very three-dimensional and focused, and it also makes the entire MV look smoother and more cool..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Because of this shooting technique, when we choreographed, we integrated some dance moves and camera movements together. Several moves need to be coordinated with the camera lens..."

The last dance section is one of the high points of the entire song. The camera continuously pans around the crowd, following their movements as they turn, but it needs to be natural and not too contrived.

They are currently in the warehouse of an industrial school in Seoul, which was also the shooting location for the MV of "Roar." Park Kyung-sun is explaining some things that need to be understood about this shoot, as well as his opinions.

At this time, all members were already wearing gray suits as their school uniforms, with white shirts underneath.

The concept of this school uniform suit was also brought up by Ji Jingyuan. Now it looks really great. With twelve people standing together, they look handsome and impressive, and very youthful.

They circled the Jingyuan Station by the pool, listening to him explain.

Ji Jingyuan was dressed in the same outfit, with a black tie, dark red Reebok shoes, and a red baseball cap with an EXO logo on it. His silver-gray hair peeked out from under the hat.

This is the brand new look that Cody designed for his comeback with this re-released album.

The VJ from the company filming behind-the-scenes footage was holding a camera and filming them nonstop, capturing everything Pool Kyungsoo said and did. All this footage would be edited into behind-the-scenes clips which would be posted online once "Roar" was released.

While Pool Jingyuan doesn't have many parts or camera shots in 《Wolf》, the song "Roar" heavily promotes him. His part makes up the most in both the dance and music video.

Moreover, as the lyricist, composer, choreographer, and concept provider for the MV, he can also be considered half a producer. In the song "Roar," Chik Jingyuan has quite a lot of say.

This time, the MV company hired a director with extensive experience to collaborate on the shoot, aiming for the best possible one-shot effect.

Qi Jingyuan can be considered a half PD. He designs the main shooting methods and overall effects, but the specific implementation is done by professionals.

"One-shot filming requires a very high level of precision in our overall dance rhythm and coordination. There can't be any mistakes from beginning to end. Let's start."

The director and staff were in place and began filming.

The roaring choreography was divided into two teams, but not according to K and M's squads.

The first team of six to appear was composed of Ji Chang-wook, Woo Shi-hun, Kai, Xiu, and Tao. The other six members joined them after the first chorus ended.

OheTake's shooting style involves a VJ holding the camera and standing close to the members, mimicking them using a camera. The entire process is filmed in one continuous shot without any editing or interruption, from beginning to end, which is what is known as "one-take".

This filming method is still a first for idol group MVs on the peninsula. If the effect turns out well, once it's released, it will definitely cause a big response and many imitators.

But the shooting difficulty is also very high because without editing, if one person makes a slight mistake, everyone basically has to start over.

The first few shoots were mainly about getting used to this way of working, and the director also raised some questions about their dance.

…………

"Xiu, when you take the hat off Yuan's head, do it more naturally. Don't look at him, look at the camera."

Everybody's eyes should be on the camera, don't look anywhere else.

…………

"Se-hoon, when you do the action of turning the camera lens, don't overdo it, give some expression."

"Berxian, what are you looking at Look at the camera!"

…………

"Yuan, after the second chorus rap section, the whole team will be in a triangle formation. You'll be at the front, very visible, and you need to make your movements more powerful."

"The choreography of gesturing 'E, X, O' while calling out your team name is really good. It feels expressive and unique. Yuan, when you do it, pay attention to your facial expressions. This team introduction choreography will become one of your hallmarks."

…………

"In the last chorus, for the group dance, when the camera is turning, Yuan, when you jump into the shot, try to make your expression a little more exaggerated and your gestures with more force. I feel this shot is really cool and eye-catching, it's your killing part."

…………

Under the direction of director Park Kyung-sun, EXO filmed from afternoon until late at night.

If there was even a slight mistake, we had to start over. We repeated it almost thirty times before succeeding. Every time either he or I made a mistake. Finally, after managing to complete a few without errors, the group dance might have been slightly out of sync and the overall effect wasn't satisfactory enough for them.

One-shot filming is really quite torturous, it can only be slowly honed.

"Kai, what's wrong"

The most recent shoot turned out great, it has already met the expected requirements.

It was just that Kai’s hat fell off when he got up. Though he reacted quickly, doing a spin in place to pick it up at the same time, it didn't affect the subsequent beat. However, no matter what, this was still a mistake.

This time, the effect was really good. After filming for so long, everyone was already very tired. It was finally when everyone was in their best state that Kai made a mistake. Everyone couldn't help but look at him. He stood there awkwardly facing everyone's gaze, not knowing what to say.

"Try a few more times, if it doesn't work, just use this one. Although it's a bit of a comical mishap, it won't affect the overall effect. Who knows, it might even become a good story in the future."

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

"Come on, Fight!"

…………

After taking several more shots, they still couldn't achieve the previous effect. The members were already quite tired. Finally, after discussion, the company decided to use Kai's mistake in that version. Although there were some twists and turns, that version had the best overall effect.

Because they're still in their active period and have a lot of schedules, this MV shoot was also specially scheduled out. Besides the Korean version, they're also shooting several versions of the MV, including Chinese and story-based versions. There's no time to let them slowly polish it anymore.

Within three days, EXO finished filming all of the "Growl" music video. With this, the preparation work for their first studio album's repackaged version is complete, leaving only the post-production work to be done by the company.

At the beginning of July, ** company officially announced that EXO will be making a comeback in August with their re-packaged album 《GROWL(Kissap;Hug)》, and they will release a teaser on July 25th, the MV on July 31st, record their first stage performance on August 1st, and officially release the album on August 5th.

And it was particularly noted that the title track, "Growl/咆哮," was written and composed by EXO member Yuan, who also participated in the arrangement, choreography, concept design, and MV filming.

The news caused a stir.
