The effect of a close-up shot is primarily to see the emotion of the person. It shows little background so the main focus is on the face or of mise en scene. Due to these factors this is why i chose to use a close-up shot for my front cover image, it creates and adds to the style and genre of the music magazine. The edginess of the person being blindfolded creates a dangerous and rebelliousness image. As the front cover is in black and white the black blind fold doesn't stand out as much but enough to be noticed. I am experimenting with the idea of having the models lips in a bright colour as it would be eye catching and work well with the plain backgeround tone however without distracting the reader from the information along the side. Without a close-up shot i wouldn't be able to achieve the impact i want the image to have on the reader.
