The document discusses different types of photography shots and positions that could be used for an artist's album cover photoshoot. It analyzes the low angle shot, medium shot, long shot, close-up shot, extreme close-up shot, and sitting down position. While the low angle shot makes a subject look powerful, the artist's image is not about power so that shot would not work. The medium shot gives mystery by showing the side profile. The long shot maintains professionalism by showing the full body. Close-up and extreme close-up shots intensify emotions on the face to connect with audiences. A sitting position provides individuality compared to other album covers that typically do not use that pose.

1. practicing different types of Shots
&
positions

2. The Low Angle Shot

 The low angle shot is used to
make the subject look powerful
and dominant. This is down by
having the camera angle look up
at the artist
 I like this shot because it makes
the artist look dominating and
powerful
 However as the image of my star
is not one of power and
dominance I don’t think I will be
using this type of shot as it goes
against the artist’s image

3. The Medium Shot

 What I like about this photo is
the fact that it is not a full on
face photo but one from the
side which gives a hint of
mystery to the artist
 Moreover the fact that the artist
is looking away it brings loads
of connotations to mind and
will really draw the audience
into analysing the image of the
artist

4. Long Shot
(PHOTOSHOP OUT

THE BACKGROUND)
 Even though I am not
illustrating the background
which is typically what the
long shot is used for I liked the
idea of showing the whole of
the artists body
 I like this photograph as it not
only looks good but also has
an air of professionalism
around it

5. The Close Up
(PHOTOSHOP OUT

THE BACKGROUND)
 I used the close-up shot because
I liked the idea of the artists
emotions and expressions being
illustrated
 Moreover from my research into
the R&B genre I found that close
up shots of the artist are very
common and I wanted to see
what my artist would like
following this convention

6. The Extreme Close-Up
(PHOTOSHOP OUT

THE BACKGROUND)
 I decided to do an extreme
close-up shot as I like the
idea of intensifying the
emotions on the artists face.
I feel that this shot will help
the audience to make a
connection with the artist
 I think this shot looks better
than the close-up one and I
like it more

7. Sitting Down Position

 I took this photograph
with the artist sitting
down simply because it
is a different position
than I have seen
digipak’s, which will
hopefully give the artist a
sense of individuality
from other R&B artists
