360 Video Proposals

My first proposal for a 360 video would be purely used for exhibition purposes. My first thought was a 6' high camera on center court/field of college sports arena/field.
Most people have seen players from the stands; placing yourself on the court and viewing the thousands of people in their seats, from centerstage, is an anxiety-inducing experience that can even impact the performance of elite athletes.
Being able to see from the court would add the performer's perspective which the average viewer has lacked in years past.
My second proposal is more immersive. I would like to take 360 video of a cemetery, the morgue, and eventually 360 video of what it would be like from 6 feet under getting buried.
It's pretty bizarre, but I think it would be an extremely visceral experience.
The first scene could be more establishing shot from a drone of the cemetery; the second from 6' camera in the middle of the room inside the morgue; and the last a surface-level camera from below the ground.
My third proposal is a musical rehearsal.
I think, once again, placing the camera on stage as if you were part of the performance would give a perspective many have not had.
I would gauge average heights of the performers on stage before deciding how tall my camera is. The big space, contrasted with fellow performers moving around you would strike a nice balance between spaciousness, and movement.
My fourth proposal would be 360 video inside a recording studio.
There could be one scene where you see it from the perspective of someone recording on one side of the glass (5-6' camera); another scene would be the person (4' camera/sitting down in a chair) behind the switchboard.
I think everyone has wanted to know what it's like to make a song or be like your favorite recording artist. Being able to see a professional-level switchboard and recording studio would also be very intriguing for many people.
Being able to see the machinery, software, and hardware would definitely give access to an experience not many have.
