The Bling Ring Convention

The Bling Ring

Bling ring is a teen drama because it mixes the themes which are crime, partying, drugs + alcohol, fashion, relationships/friendships, money, rebellion, greed, clique and peer pressure which are the common themes which make a teen drama a teen drama.
Also the characters who are the ones who are being portrayed as stereotypical teenager.

the conventions used that make this a teen drama are like the themes stated in the opening paragraph but also the setting which is celeb houses, high school, club, parents house, bedrooms also he characters which are stereotyped teenagers, stupid adults, the authorities that stop the fun.

The costumes they were are also a main convention. the teenagers are dressed in flashy, designer and fashionable clothes


The movie reflects the stereo types of teen modern culture which are that in the modern culture of today teens are obsessed with clothes and money also they are seen in the public eye to be foolish and greedy and all about rebellion.

in this movie the clique ( a group of close friends who don't allow others to readily join them, also have a lot in common) is represented a group of friends who are subconsciously being changed by the ring leader who influences them all into becoming like her. This is key because in other teen dramas were there is a unified group they always have something in common with each other and in teen dramas they are easily persuaded and changed ( influenced) by the people around them which is another reason why teens re portrayed in the eye of the modern Society to be like sponges and soak up whats around them. And for me the reason why this teen drama had so much in common with the other ones iv seen is that all of the people who have something in common seem to mix better weather that be a negative aspect or positive, for instance in some teen dramas the nerdy kids are always portrayed as to be in a clique with the nerdy kids.

The main reason tis movie i think personally was different from the other movies iv seen is that it mixes the greed and  lifestyle of the modern day teenagers and mixes them into one modern teen drama which is realistic and based on a true story.

The main protagonist the boy is portrayed as the outsider who mixes with the wrong people who is torn between love and greed and his love blinds him and eventually he begins to love the lifestyle of drug taking and partying and stealing and in turn changes him, because throughout the whole movie he is seen as the one who knows what is right from wrong but because of the main character he falls in love with it change his whole outlook and perspective of life and in turn becomes like her, in one scene
we see him evan dressing up like a women in pink heels dancing and smoking like a woman.

The main reason this movie was very similar to another teen drama such as mean girls is because of the way that he is tainted by the ones around him and turns into something just like them.

evan though this teen drama was based more around the teenagers robbing celeb houses the film also shows how social networking such as Facebook is not only addicting in the modern society but also during every scene they were uploading pictures to and from Facebook in order to show off which in the end was the downfall. The protagonist in the movie found were the stars lived from the internet and also what parties they were going to attend which in a way was the film trying to represent how easy it is to find anything they want online. Finally the use of modern stars not only made the movie more relatable but also showed how far people will go to be like there favourite stars.

This is the trailer itself for the movie.
