There are numerous ways to enjoy K-pop music these days, including watching music videos, performance videos, or practice videos. Another thing that K-pop fans enjoy is watching super close-up shots of their favorite idols’ videos. In particular, camera directors from the music show Inkigayo on SBS continue to draw the attention of many K-pop fans.
Song Nak-hun and Cho Jin-hyeon, who are camera directors, appeared on the Korean variety show You Quiz on the Block and shared their career stories. They explained the entire process of how they shoot and how much effort they put in to be able to show the high quality of the performances and artists. When they are assigned to certain artists and music, the first step they take is to become acquainted with them by playing the music continuously throughout the day. Then they study each artist’s movements and figure out how they will capture them on stage. They also experiment with different shooting angles and techniques in order to highlight the best aspects of the group or artist. Lastly, they said that because every artist puts in a lot of effort to perform onstage, they wanted to capture their effort and the best side of them with the camera.
