Actor Kang Ha-neul talked about the difficulties and fun of filming in one take.

‘Streaming’, which will be released on the 21st, is a thriller that unfolds as the most subscribed crime channel streamer Woosang (Kang Ha-neul) discovers clues to a serial murder case that had not been solved and tracks down the culprit, broadcasting in real time.

Kang Ha-neul, who plays the lead role, said at a press and distribution preview held at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 17th, “Since the work is based on a real-time live broadcast, I paid the most attention to “liveliness”.

He continued, “However, since there was clearly a set script and I acted while looking at the script, the live feeling was reduced and it didn‘t feel like a movie. So if I didn’t pay attention to the script at all and did it, it didn‘t feel like a movie. So I tried my best to find that middle ground,” he added.

Regarding the one-take filming that he considers the most important in a movie, he said, “I originally liked one-take films,” and “When I first met with the director, I was excited and thrilled when I heard that we had to film in one take. I thought it would be fun. I really enjoyed the parts that I had to worry about, and filming was fun.”

However, he added that there were difficulties with one-take filming, saying, “There were times when we filmed for about 10 minutes at a time. It’s not easy to find a set where you film for that long at a time. However, if you made an NG around 9 minutes and 50 seconds out of a 10-minute filming, you had to go back and start acting from the beginning again. That part was a little scary and gave me a strange sense of tension, but it was fun.”
