I have started developing trial covers on photoshop. They are not exactly what Im after but I am happy to experiment and try a number of designs 

The 'doorway shot' has been used in film for decades as a symbolic image. Particularly in John Ford's 'The Searchers' 

The idea of 'the doorway' is explained quite well in this quote

'Are you going in or are you staying out? In the world of The Searchers you must choose. You can’t have both. In this movie, everyone is on the threshold of that choice. And for some, it isn’t a choice at all, it’s just the way things work. Everything you want, everything you search for, is “out there”, or, on the flipside, everything you want is “in there”. There is a giant gap between in and out. Characters are seen standing a bit away from the house, with people clustered in the doorway, and it seems like anything, anything can happen in that gap. There is no white-picket-fence safety of a little front yard. Slaughter can happen in that 20 foot gap, swift and terrible. So you must choose. As the terrifying Judge shows in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian (my post about the Judge here), there are things that happen in life, choices you make, that forever banish you from the cozy world of the indoor, civilization itself. There is a point of no turning back. Looking through doorways, into something going on through yet another doorway, is an image that repeats itself throughout the film. Whatever happens through a door, whatever is glimpsed, is the truth of the matter, usually unspoken and private. The two shots that bookend the film, famous in their own right, and two of my favorite in the history of American cinema.'
