Music Video

All the girls stood in my room, doing a double check of costume and make-up. It was 4.30 am and we had to leave in 10 minutes. We were filming wait a minute first. Everyone was dressed in all black, so we looked like secret agents/spies, everyone had decided that they wanted streaks in there hair. Victoria and I had our original hair colours, Brittany had purple streaks, Clara had hot pink, Irina had green and Sophie had light blue.

Clara had made sure all our outfits looked like they belonged on the runway, which meant 5 inch heels for everyone.

We all buttoned up our jackets and put our sunglasses on our head. "Lets Go."

We all walked down the stairs like super models and straight out to the garage. All the boys were standing out there waiting, they were also dressed in all black.

I walked over to Ryan, who was wearing a tight black muscle t-shirt, black jeans and converses. He opened the door for me and I sat down. He got in the drivers side and we speed off towards the studio.

We parked around the opposite side to where we parked yesterday and got out. We walked in the room to find our selves in a place that looked exactly the same as a train station. Mr. Rileys walked over to meet us.

"I trust you know what you are supposed to do," he said.

"Yes," we all said together. He handed me and all the girls a hiptop phone.

"What's this for?" Clara asked.

"At the start of the music clip, this will be playing the back round music," he said. "Everyone to your places."

Ryan and Jake went to the top of the escalators. The other three boys went and sat down inside the train. All the girls split up. Clara and Brittany sitting down, pretending to talk to each other, the other three going to stand behind the railing across from the escalators. I stayed where I was, ready to walk past and put the phone down. We all put or big black sunnies on and waited. All the extras got into place.

"And Action!"

I started walking and placed the phone down as the music started, the extras turned to look but I just kept walking until I was standing behind a wide poll. There was a track for the camera to slide past right in front of me, with the camera and its operator up the other end of the track.

I didn't know what was going on until I herd Ryan start to sing and the camera start sliding. When the camera was in front of me I took my sunnies off started to sing.

Oh, my baby sexy for sure. I had to have him when he walked through the door.

I walked out from behind the poll so I was standing behind Jake and Ryan as they sang.

I felt the girls come up behind me as we started to sing.

I'm focused but I'm losing control. He only wants me for my body and soul.

The boys continued to sing as they walked onto the train.

We followed behind them and started dancing up and down the train as we sang. Part way through dancing on the train, we all to our coats and jackets off to show our singlets and tube tops. When I got up to right in front of Ryan the director yelled cut.

"That was amazing everyone," he said, as we all walked out of the confined space. "You did every move perfectly and sang like you were in the studio. I don't think we are going to have to run this scene again," he said.

We were all happy to hear that.

"I want you to go and get changed for the street scene," he said, then walked away.

All the girls headed to the change room with the picture of a girl, with the boys heading to the other one.

When we got in there, they're where so many outfits it was insane. I picked an electric blue sequenced singlet that was loose and came to about mid thigh, with elastic around the bottom, holding it there, with a white tube top underneath for modesty. Under the top I had a pair of black fishing net tights, my shoes were a pair of 5 inch electric blue heels.

All the girls had exactly the same top on as me, only the same colour as their streaks. Only some were wearing jeans or skirts or tights.

I nodded and we all walked out the opposite door. When we opened the door, we found ourselves standing on a road with a cross section a few meters up and two cars parked on the other side of the cross road. A pair of strong arm wrapped around my waist.

I turned around to see Ryan standing behind me, wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a blue hoddie, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

"You look seriously sexy right now," he said kissing me.

"Your not to bad yourself," I said after we broke apart.

"Place everyone!"

Ryan and the boys walked over to the two cars and got in. the six of us lined up and waited.

"And action!"

The smoke came up in front of us as we through it. We took a few steps so we were in the middle of the cross section and started dancing.

The boys pretended to swerve to a stop and got out. When they did, all the girls got up and started dancing on the cars.

Ryan came up to me and we started singing.

I got up on the hood of the car and started singing with the girls. The boys got in formation and started to break dance. Towards the end of the song, all the girls sat down on the car with the boys around us. On the final note there was an explosion above us that looked really cool.

All the crew started clapping as the boys helped us off the car.

"That all went perfectly. It's only 9 am and we've already filmed a music video," the director said.

Everyone clapped at this news.

"Everyone freshen up and meet over in building 6 in half an hour for Jai Ho."

I turned to look at my family. "That went rather well."

"I'll say," Victoria said, "That was awesome."

Everyone else nodded at the comment.

"Let's go get dressed," Sophie said, dragging us away.

"Like mother like daughter," I whispered to Victoria who laughed.

This time, I picked a pair of white skinny jeans, with hot pink knee length boots over them. My top was a hot pink singlet cut that came up so it looked like a bikini top. I also put on a pink belt with silver studs on it and big silver earrings. I decided to put my hair in a loose side ponytail for this scene.

Sophie had a black skirt on with a lime green tube top and heals. Clara was wearing denim mini shorts with an orange one shoulder top and white heeled ankle boots. Brittany was wearing a blue halter dress top with black mini shorts under it and blue ballet flats. Irina had white knee length shorts with a red tube top and heels. I finally found Victoria when she walked out from behind a rack of clothes. She was wearing exactly the same as me, only with black mini shorts instead of jeans and she was wearing purple instead of pink. She even had the same earrings and hair do as me.

"I can change," she said when she noticed how similar we looked.

"We're twins. They can deal with it," I said as we walked out the door.

We walked at human speed to the door that had a big 6 on it. When we opened the door, we where in a room full of what looked like abandoned trains with tracks under every one. The room looked almost like a shed, with a light layer of haze everywhere, which added to the atmosphere.

Everyone else was getting cameras ready and setting up. I could smell that the boys where already on the train.

When the director saw us he came over to talk to us.

"Hello girls," he said when he reached us.

"Hi," we said in union, we had gotten really good at that.

"I need all of you except for Bella to get on the train," he said, they all nodded and headed for the train.

"I need you to dance for a few seconds before you get on the bus, people will only see your silhouette. It's very effective. Where going to film this whole section of it, then the beaded room. We'll just add the drums in later."

"Ok," I said going to stand where he had pointed too.

"Places people," he yelled. "Action!"

The music started to play and I looked around, I went around the poll and did a few other little tricks before I got on the train.

As soon as I was on the train I started singing. I could feel Ryan following me and hear him start singing. The girls joined in with me and the boys joined in with Ryan. After a few more seconds, the girls and I got off the train and went to stand in front of them all with the light shining from behind the trains.

We started dancing the dance we had learned last night while singing. The boys could be heard singing from somewhere we couldn't see. They joined us about half way through the song and started singing and dancing with us. We went through the whole song without a hitch.

"Ok, go change and meet us next door for the beaded room scene," the director said.

We all nodded and went back to the change room.

We decided to keep the same outfit only in different colours. I traded the pink for green and kept my jeans. Everyone decided to keep the same bottoms on and just change top colours. Victoria went with blue, Brittany was red, Clara green, Sophie orange and Irina purple. Victoria and I had also decided to take our hair out.

"Let's go," Irina said and we left the room again. When we entered the other door in room 6, we found ourselves in a whitish bluish room, with hundreds and hundreds of stings with crystals on them going from the ceiling to the floor.

"Wow," I breathed.

"It is so cool," Sophie cherpt.

The director came in behind us, "this would be the last dance you had to learn. Now spread out and we're only going to be using one camera angle. You know the parts you have to sing."

We all nodded and took our places around the room.

The director nodded and we started to sing and dance with perfection.

When we finished that scene it was only 11.15am.

"Ok girls, I have to go check how the boys filming went," he said then turned to me. "We weren't meant to finish until at least 5. How do you feel about filming take a bow?" he asked me.

"That's fine with me. Why don't you girls get the boys and go home?" I asked.

They all nodded.

"Just make sure that Ryan stays. I still need to get home," I said.

"See you later," Sophie said.

I waved as they left to find the boys.

I went back into the change room to find something to wear. I decided on black jeans and a black singlet and black ballet flats. I also had four long silver chains on all in different styles and lengths, with my locket sitting right in the middle. I also had my charm bracelet on one arm and lots of silver bangles up the other, with a pair of matching hop earrings. I also got a hard thick shinny headband to push my hair back.

When I exited the room, I found Ryan outside the door waiting for me.

"Director told me to take you to room two for filming," he said.

I put my arm around his waist and he put his arm around my shoulder as we walked to room two. The room was just a small black room with the director and one cameraman in it.

"For this video, you're going to sing the whole song here, then we're going to go next door to the house room, which has one house, a car and a little bit of road on it to film certain parts of the song," he said.

I nodded and went to stand in the middle of the room.

"Action."

I took a deep breath and sang the whole song.

"Excellent. Would you please follow me next door for the rest of the filming."

"Sure," I said, as we walked next door to finish the filming.

I met the other guy, put on a jacket and finished the filming in half an hour.

By the time we had finished the filming it was only 1pm.

"Well, we're filming the other three video's tomorrow. Why don't you get your photo shot for the CD cover done?" the director asked.

"Sounds like a good idea to me," I said as we entered the hallway that connected all the rooms together.

"If you go to the end of this hallway and turn right, you'll find yourself in the photo shot room. Dianne should be free right now," the director said.

"Thankyou," I said as Ryan and I walked down the hall. I knocked on the door and herd a lady on the other side tell us to come in.

I opened the door to an average sized room with a large white sheet dominating the room with a camera set up in front of it. On the right there was a desk with a laptop on it and a young woman sitting behind it.

The lady looked up when she heard them enter.

"Hi, I'm Bella Hunter. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do my photo shot now instead of tomorrow?" I asked.

"That would be perfect. You where my only shot for tomorrow, so if I do it now I can edit all my photos tomorrow, it works perfectly," she said with a warm smile.

"Thank you," I said.

"Why don't you go pick an outfit and come out when you're ready?"

"Thanks," I said walking into the change room behind the sheet.

After a few minutes of deliberating I found the perfect outfit. A pair of faded blue skinny jeans with a pair of stiletto leather knee length boots over them. My top was tight fitting to my elbows, before flowing out until my wrists. It was like a bikini, coming up under my boobs and tying up in the front forming a V shape and leaving my stomach bare. For jewellery, I only wore my locket and my charm bracelet.

Once I was ready, I walked out to Dianne and Ryan.

"Love the outfit," Dianne said standing up, as I walked to stand in front of the sheet.

"Now give me what you got," she said.

With that I put my hands on my hips and jutted them to the side with a pout on my face. I blew kisses, I pretended to look flirty or mad, anything I could think of really.

"I have a really good idea," I said, sitting down on the floor.

I put my hands out behind me so it looked like they were supporting my weight. I bent my right leg up, keeping my left one straight. I turned my head up a bit and to the front and smiled.

Dianne took about 20 shots of that one posse.

"Ok Bella, that's it for today. I don't think I'll be able to find a bad picture in here," she said shuffling through them on her computer.

"Bella?" she asked as I started to head for the door.

"Yes?" I asked looking at her.

"Would you mind if I did the cover for the CD?" she asked, almost not sure of herself.

"Not at all. The title is 'Us Against the World'," I said, and with that, Ryan and I left for home.
