Music Video

thumb|left|200px|The Saturdays in Missing You. "Missing You" will be accompanied by a music video for its single release. The music video was shot at the end of May, 2010[7]. The full music video will premiere at 10:00 in the morning UK time on their official site on June 26, 2010. A preview of the video was also revealed.[8] The music video was shot in spain. Within in the music video the group all do the same dance routine on the chorus. All the girls are seen wearing a number off different clothing. The chorus of the girls singing, the video was set on a beach, where the girls danced. All of the girls wear summery clothing as the single is released in the middle of the Summer. Frankie Sandford is seen a number of times walking through a forest in Spain. On 18th of June, on The Saturdays official YouTube a video taster was uploaded.[9] The music video is the first video of The Saturdays to be filmed out of the UK. The music video is also directed by Trudy Bellinger who also directed The Saturdays smash hit single Forever is Over.

Concept

The concept of the music video is that The Saturdays are on holiday in Spain, and they are saying they miss you. There are scences which The Saturdays are dancing on the beach with no one are around them just the girls. The idea of the music video to be shot in Spain, The girls are away from friends/family and they are missing them and are also home sick. The are scences where the girls walk off themselves, which symbols they are trying to get their head around that they are not with their loved ones no more. This aimed to give imagery to the viewer that they human and they do miss home when they are away been apart of The Saturdays, while recording aboard.

The video's chorus is The Saturdays dancing to a well rehearsed dance routine. Before changing to different shots of the girls by themselves, walking alone. The group's members are all up dancing and singing to the chorus, as the girl's sing "Try not to end up in tears" they splash water up, that shows that they are trying to hide crying by splashing water on themselves. The music video has parts where they are dancing and the shots keep changing to fast and slow, the video slows down at different stages of the video. Each girl is also wearing differnt colours clothing throught the video, as they have been colour coded.

Music video

[[:File:The Saturdays Up Dancing.png|thumb|The Saturdays sitting on platforms in a scene from the music video for "Up".|alt=A portrait of five young women standing on separate pillars in a violet-coloured background. Each woman is wearing a low-cut black dress with knee-height socks. Each pair of socks is a different colour to the other four pairs, for each of the five women.]] The music video for "Up" was directed by Harvey B. Brown, director of the music video for the group's previous single "If This Is Love".[1] The video was shot on 30 July 2008.[2] Shots from the video leaked onto the internet on 8 August 2008.[3] The video later premiered on 2 September on Yahoo![1]

Una Healy described that she felt dizzy shooting the scene on the turntable, saying it was "like being on a merry-go-round".[4] Wind machines were used in the shooting of the video.[4] [[:File:The Saturdays Up Singing.png|thumb|left|The Saturdays singing in a scene from the music video for "Up".]] At the start of the video, The Saturdays are seen doing fast-like robot dancing. Then the girls are seen walking onto plateforms which go up into the air. The Saturdays have different colour mics to match the colour of their tights which they are wearing, Frankie Sandford wears orange, which her mic is orange also, Una Healy wears blue, same as her mic, Rochelle Wiseman has a red mic, which matches her clothing custume, Mollie King yellow and Vanessa White pink, but all of the group are wearing different types of black dresses, and balck high heels. They all have matching colour accessories, to match their tights and mics, e.g. rings, bags and sunglasses. They all do the same dance routine, while together on the music video. On the music video there are platforms which go up into the air, and The Saturdays are seen jumping onto them, while they are moving. As the chorus breaks in and says I'm ready for the lift up, Keep steady beat, the girl-group are standing on the platforms been took up into the sky. As the lyrics state Cus I'm ready for the big jump, Keep up with me, Una is seen jumping from on of the platforms which is going up, to another. Mollie and Frankie are seen falling as they have missed one of the platforms, but in the lyrics it states that we are going to go on and will leave them, but Mollie and Frankie finally finds another platform and jumps onto it and goes back up to catch up to the other girls. Then later The Saturdays are seen throwing and dropping things off the platforms, which you see falling later on in the video, e.g. gloves, bags and coats. The ending of the video is how the video started.
