Music Video Moodboard

I've been doing a little research into my chosen genre: electropop and the types of music videos that accompany songs of this genre. The backgrounds/locations in these videos are always quite abstract so I tried to think outside of the box via locations for my song.

My friend told me of this art exhibition, called Gods Own Junkyard, with vintage neons lights that I think would be great to use in the video. As far as I am aware, photography is allowed in the establishment so I'm planning to go with my friend to just film a couple shots to add into my music video.

The variety of lights is huge so I want to get shots of lights similar to the ones on the top row of my mood board. I like these ones because they are great visual representations of the song I want to do. The 'sweet like chocolate' light portrays how the female has a sweet facade but inside isn't what see appears to be, hence the 'error' light - showing the error inside her mind. Also, there are many sexual references in the song so I think the 'sex, drugs and bacon rolls' light would be very good to represent that.
I added some photos of newspaper titles because I had an idea that to show the chaotic state the females mind is in, I wanted to have her bedroom wall covered with newspaper articles, words and images all to do with death, suicide, murder, etc as a visual representation of the lyric "feeling super, super, super suicidal".
