'Kramer Vs. Kramer' is a 1979 American Drama directed by Robert Benton. Although it is not strictly a social realsim film, there are some interesting shots that could help give us some inspiration particuarly with our poster. The basic plot is of a family who are getting a divorce and fighting in court over custody of their young son. Similarly with our film they use a young boy, who hopefully will add a bit of innocent children type comedy to our film.
Our enitial ideas for a poster were to do a shot of the two main characters sitting on a bench together eating chips, hence the idea for our title being 'Chips'. We want the simplicity of our film to be represented with a simple poster that is pleasing to the eye in terms of comosition, angles and mis en scene. Robert Zemecks 1994 film 'Forrest Gump' is a good refrence of the kind of poster that we are talking about. However in order to stick to the conventions of a social realism film we are going to use a recognisable location of Brighton Beach with the classic blue railings it is known for.
The 1970s film 'Love Story' directed by Arthur Hiller similarly to 'Kramer Vs. Kramer' uses a variety of mid-shots and mid-close ups with two people in the frame. We plan on also using these shots in our film.
