Shot types

Type Example Description

Long shot I think I am going to use a long shot on my contents page and have the text going around the image, it will be the same model on contents page as it is on the front cover to show that she is the feature story.

Close up shot I am going to use a close up shot for my front cover, as I am only going to have one image on the front which is not normal for a standard looking magazine so I need the shot to be powerful and need to make sure that it catches the readers eye and makes them want to buy the magazine.

Medium close up I think medium close up shots will be good for my two paged spread, I don’t want the reader to have all their concentration on the picture I want them to be interested in the article as well as the picture, however I do want the picture to capture the readers eye a little bit as I want them to know that page is on the cover model.
