Existing Genre Locations

I looked through music videos that have the same genre as mine and artists that produce music videos that I aspire from. I looked at the settings and locations they were filmed in hope to encorparte parts of the way they look into my own music videos. Here are some examples from the research I have found. 

A long shot of a bath scene used in a lively music video, I have not yet decided if I am going to fill the bath with water and bubbles or have it empty and just use it as a prop. This photo is useful to see how it would look, and how I could have my actress posed. 
I would like a similar medium close up shot like this of  my actress Paris from the living room window location. It portrays the darkness she is feeling inside, the emptiness and is very effectively used in a successful music video from Rihanna. Rihanna's music genre is also pop/R&B. 

 This is extreme long shot from a neutral bedroom scene in a famous Beyonce music video. The room itself is highly realistic and fits well within the theme of the music video because of the colors, similar to what I hope to use in my bedroom scene. 


 This medium close up shot shows Beyonce on an old fashioned phone, which she is crying into portrayed with the heavily make up she is wearing which is running down her face. This is exactly what I want Paris to look like after crying and arguing with Charlie in my music video and aim to have a similar medium close up like this. 

This is a long shot from another bedroom scene from a pop music video which I also would consider using. I also like the posture of the artist the way she is laid across the bed in pain. I would consider having my actress in the pose as it could show the pain inside she is feeling. However, I would use brighter lighting for the filming then edit it down after woulds.
