During the planning process, I considered various different ideas for my music video. Drag queens were a definite fixture, however, how I would portray them and the videos theme was still something I needed to decide on.
I'd originally envisaged creating an “American Horror Story” cross with “Ru-Paul's Drag Race” kind of theme, where my performers would be located in an abandoned house, in very dark surroundings.
Music videos/ media products placed in abandoned house/ stately home surroundings I
can use for inspiration
Blink 182- Stay Together For The Kids
Within Temptation- Memories
Shinedown- Simple Man
R.E.M- Losing my Religion
Jessie J- Nobody's PerfectFifth Harmony- I'm In Love With A Monster Jessie J- It's My Party The Wanted- All Time

For this concept, there have been three specific music videos that have helped me shape my idea, these can be seen here, here and here.
Please note how I have specifically gone with placing drag queens in a Tim Burton-esque environment, because that is what I want the style of my music video to be.
