cover shot research

In this post i am going to talk about the camera shots that have been used in the magazine that i have chosen "Billboard" and why it fits with the genre of the magazine.

The camera shot that they have decided to use in this magazine is a medium long shot of Soulja Boy. This shot is unconventional because usually in RnB magazines they use close up shots to show the facial expressions because RnB tends to be serious and on this picture Soulja Boy looks quite relaxed and happy. Also the colours that they have decided to use is purple this is quite conventional because purple is a buying colour so it will attracted the customer into buying the product.
