cover shot
Publication's lead image
A cover shot is a photograph intended for the front cover of a magazine, book, or album.
The term emphasizes both the image's prominence and its commercial purpose—cover shots must grab attention and convey the publication's content at a glance: We need a cover shot that pops.
In film and video production, a cover shot is a wide-angle take that captures an entire scene, used as a safety option during editing when closer shots don't work together smoothly.
