Group shots• It’s common amongst
magazines that the artists are in a group together, therefore a shot of all of them is required. In groups, there is usually a leader, a focal point. This is primarily the lead singer but it can vary. This person usually closest to the camera in the centre while the others occupy the space around him/her.

Long shots• Long shots are a way to
show the whole artists body. In acoustic music especially, they are quite prominent due to props (guitar) being a regular feature on the front page. They can also allow for more creative poses as it allows for the editor to manipulate more than just the upper body.

Mid shots• Mid shots are the most
common shot on a magazine front cover. This is due to it finding the balance, every other shot lacks something significant. The mid shot however incorporates a detailed face, body, body language and any accessories. Predominantly, the artist will stare straight into the camera, to add more a personal approach to the audience.

Close ups• Close ups are very
common like mid shots, because a face is the most common way of identification. They also stare straight into the camera as the closeness incorporates a more personal touch you don’t get with long shots for example.
