A lot of work goes into filming for music videos. Firstly, finding a concept that fits he ceoncept of the artists' music, determining location, lighting, camera work, the artists themselves, their approval, the costumes, choreography, date, weather, everything. One can only imagine how hard it must be for artists to create one cohesive music video.

While most music videos therefore reply on editing to create magic, some music videos are all shot in a single take. It is incredible hard to create one take shoots as every single movement needs to be precise, every single detail flawless. Otherwise, the entire thing is chucked and done all over again.

As such, it is incredible hard work for everyone involved, right from the artists to the crew and staff. A one-shot or continuous shot feature film is a full-length movie filmed in one long take by a single camera, or manufactured to give the impression it was.

Here are some K-Pop music videos that were all one shots.
