My 2nd inspirational genre film is Red Notice (2021, Rawson Marshall Thurber). I enjoyed the film and how it blends comedy with action although many of the jokes did seem to feel a bit forced or cheap.
It uses many action film genre conventions. One of these is the objectives of the main characters, to steal the valuable egg by whatever means. The ways they did this were through making the characters fight each other and accomplish different missions in their attempt to find the final egg. There are also plot twists throughout the film as we find out that everything went to plan for the bishop even when it seemed as though it was not going to plan.
A key element that shows these genre conventions is the use of lighting with the themes of crime and violence being portrayed by the red lighting that is used throughout the film. Another is the exaggerated use of loud diegetic sounds such as punches which is loud to make sure the audience hears all of the blows and violence that occurs.
I will use some things from this film in my own film. The most obvious example of this is the themes of thievery and missions exploring, discovering and stealing. I will have an object in my film which will work like the egg in Red Notice and my films beginning will share the general idea of the beginning of red notice with the characters stealing something valuable and the thief escaping in a dramatic chase sequence.
