This document analyzes the shot type, angle, mise-en-scene, depth of field, realism, image style, focus, mode of address, lighting, text choices, and representation used in a magazine cover photo. The medium close up shot uses a straight on angle to clearly show the woman and science equipment. Props and a classroom setting are used to engage the target student audience. Shallow depth of field focuses the viewer on the woman, while the realistic photo, single image style, and hard focus clarify the content for readers.
