As long as we finished our first cover video, the process of making this video let me realize the most important elements in group work and the power of K-pop. Our cover video for PSY’s song is Hangover. The video for hangover is not just dancing or singing, it is more complicated, it likes a drama. As a result, the process of covering this video is not that easy.
First, our group member’s distribution should be clear. Hangover has lots of different plots; our group members need to distribute each part to each person. Then we will choose which part we want to performance individually. It means we should learn how PSY perform in the video and try to become him. This part made me feel that our group like a K-pop group, each member should have a balance time showed in the video and we need to practice together to make the video better.
Second, our performance should be similar. We need to find some places similar with those scenes in the video. And our video has lots of parts were so details. So for our group, we always spend times on finding an empty classroom, designing a classroom and buying some staffs to contribute our cover video. It reflected on that the K-pop idols are so powerful because if they want to make a perfect video, they need to become multitasking, they should handle both dancing and singing even become an actor.
Making a cover video is not easy. I feel so hard when we attempted to perform and I am so admiring those K-pop idols that they can bring such perfect video to us. The process of the cover video let me gained a new understanding of group work and how the K-pop idols do the hard work.
