Conventions of Teen Dramas- The Bling Ring






THEMES:
Typical.
Typical.
Typical.
The typical themes and issues that you would find in this teen drama movie.
Five celebrity-obsessed teens use the power of the internet to not only stalk their favourite celebrities but have a stupid idea to take their personal belongings. This soon spirals into something darker as the teens steal money, take drugs, go out to parties that they're clearly not allowed into (legally anyway); just so they could capture that celebrity culture, the celebrity lifestyles.  The teenage film also features friendships/cliques, relationships with the opposite sex, parent and child relationships, a WHOLE LOAD of rebellion just to keep hold of the things money can buy. 



SETTING AND LOCATION: 
The movies takes place in sunny California, it also features the well known locations that help make up that teenage movie. From high schools as students are found by their lockers to the parents' houses as the main character is usually found expressing themselves in their bedrooms or moaning about life in the kitchen. You also have the usually teenage hangouts, it being the beach. The movie also features locations such as clubs and parties, allowing the audience to capture their rebellious side.  




MUSIC:
The normal kind that would find in our day and age. It being loud and explicit as Rick Ross is heard rapping about... Unpleasant things, the traditional hip hop setting (no surprise there) to the dance/trance music. The type of music that makes you want to get up and do something stupid (like breaking into Paris Hilton's house 8 times =|) ! 

THE CHARACTERS:
Well, you have your teenagers... 



The annoying adults... 



... AND of course the authorities 







COSTUME: 
It's the type of costume you expect;stylish and fashionable! The sort of designer outfits you would dream of having.
