For my magazine I need to use lots of different shot types for the different photographs used in the magazine. Here I am going to describle clearly what shots and what types of shot I am going to use in my project for the front cover, contents page and double spread of my magazine.
The main image on my front cover will be a medium close up of the artist which I have chosen to use in the main double spread. This is a picture of the head and shoulders of the artist.
I could use just a very close up shot of my artist on the front cover but I decided against it because I wanted to get more of the detail of my artists outfit so that the audience can then have a better idea of what the artist is about if they were not aware of her music or had never heard of her.
On the contents page the pictures are going to be varied of Mid shot and medium close ups of different artists who will be featured in the contents page. There will also be a wide shot of the front cover of my magazine to be used in the subscriptions part of the contents page where customers can subsribe to the audience and get a free gift of some kind.
In the contents page there will also be a picture of a crowd which I took whilst at a gig which will illustrate the gig review section this will be taken in either a very wide shot or an extreme wide shot of the crowd. I used this because I could then get a wide shot of all the crowd at the gig and it shows the amount of people at this one specific gig, I took this at two seperate gigs, both extreme wide angle shots to show the contrast between the two gigs.
Within the double page spread of my artist I have used a wide range of different shot types of what she was doing around the house to create variety and make it more interesting for the reader.
Close ups will be used when I want to illustrate a certain feature or part of the subject so this will take up the main frame so that this is the main thing focussed on within this picture.
Mid shots will be used when I want to illustrate some part of the subject in more detail whilst still giving an impression of the whole subject around the artist.
Long shots will be used where the subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as possible so that the reader can see what is around the subject as well as what she is doing in the picture.
