Write up of Bling Ring

Does The Bling Ring follow conventions of teen movies?
We see the convention of young people parting and having fun together doing illegal things we see this in many other teen movies as teenage life is a time when people commit crimes in their lives and rebel against their normal lives, parents and government. The teens do different types of drugs and go drinking which is what we see in many other teen movies, as characters want to go out and get drunk and high to have fun.

This movie also follows the conventions of following the relationships of the main character as in many teen films relationships play a very big role, in the bling ring we hair and see lots about the relationship between the main character and others a he talks about how he feels about the girls and his own self image.

Celebrity culture plays a very big role in The Bling Ring as the teens are stealing from celebrities and later pretty much become celebrities themselves, this obsession of celebrity culture and lifestyle is reflective of modern society and many peoples wish to be like them, seen in many other teen movies as characters want to become big, famous and rich.

The main music used in the movie is Hip Hop and dance this may also be to reflect the dream of being famous and rich as most rappers fit this role as well as being reckless criminals, the music also shows what many teens are listening to today, the music also goes with what the characters are doing in the movie, parting to rap and dance music.

The costumes and clothing used in this movie are trendy & glamorous celebrity clothing & since the movie is all about the teens stealing celebrity clothing there's a lot of focus on the clothes, as they check what celebrities are wearing before they go to steal it, they always compliment and help each other with their outfits and most of the money made is spent on clothes. this movie shows the obsession teens have with celebrities as well as their own self image.

The adults in this movie all follow stereotypes and conventions in other teen movies, as the teens are cool rebellious and just what to have fun, whilst their parents are annoying and try to hold them back from going out and king what they want always asking questions on everything they, the law is always breathing down the teens neck as well and tries stopping them from doing what the teens believe are fun. In most other movies the different groups of characters follow the same traits.




The settings of this movie follow the conventions of most teen movies as they're either at high school, in a club, or at someones house in their bedroom. the teens in this movie just like teens in others find places where they can talk privately and be themselves, this is especially important in this movie as they have to talk about stealing in secret and who they're going to steal from next.
