Here is a good example of how Empire magazine lays out its front cover.
Notice that the main image is a front on shot that is a mid shot.
The title of the magazine is partially hidden by the photo - this is a common code now.
There is a date of issue, a bar code and a tag line for the magazine.
The main film is clearly highlighted but there are other films that are advertised too. The sticker type idea is also common to film magazine front covers. Be careful with this as they can look tacky if not executed well. Note that the colours of the fonts are reasonably limited - don't go too crazy on the colours!
Make sure that you use a very good camera with a good lens to make sure that the quality is as good as possible.
As with the poster shots, take lots of photos so that you can choose the best one to use.
Remember that you need to think about the consistency between this picture, the poster and the trailer itself.
