Similar products: shots used on front covers

This is a front cover of the band the killers. There is a long shot of the band and this is used to make them the main attraction as there body takes up the whole front cover. It also let's the audience see the body language of each band member, and this helps show them what they are like and if they have attitude or not. The Killers are all standing rather casual implying that they have a bit of attitude (one of them with his hands in his pocket) but not very rebellious as the cover star with his hands in front of them looks very serious.

This is a front cover from NME. It has a mid shot of Arctic Monkeys. This shot helps make Alex Turner stand out as he takes up most of the cover with the rest of the band standing back implying that he is the main singer of the group. Mid shot's can also be used to help show the personalities of the band, but it is also used to show who is the leader of the band as shown here.

By doing this task I can decide which camera shot is best to use on my magazine front cover. I can decide which shot will best give the audience a bit of an insight into the bands personality.
