Camera angle shots

The main camera angle used on magazine front covers is medium close ups. These are the most affective shots for magazine front covers because it helps people identify what the magazines about. For example magazines can show off clothes on a pretty elegent woman which is easy noticable and the clothes can be recognised by the audience, the person in the shot gives their full eye contact which draws the audience in and communicates with them. Another example is football magazines like four four two; they tend to have a footballer on the front cover in medium close up; who although isn't avdertising fashion, there football kit can be identified easily in the medium close up or there training up rather then if it was a long shot or an extreme close up on the face. Therefore if I have in my college magazine a football player on the front cover I should make sure I get the top in therefore it becomes clear he is part of the college team I should also make sure the main story of the magazine is about the football team.
