In class today we watched a the film The Bling Ring,which is a biographic teen movie based on a crime spree which a group of teens committed in LA, on Lindsay Lohan,Paris Hilton,Orlando Bloom and others.The films opening went against the conventions of a teen film, this is because at the beginning of The Bling Ring, the viewer is shown a clip from later on in the film,which then changes to a montage of the clip,pictures of shoes and videos of celebrities.I think this made it particularly more interesting because the viewer immediately becomes hooked.
The Movie focuses on three things which are involved in a lot of teen films,money,drugs and fame.The teens in the film are driven by keeping up with the latest fashion which is shown by the celebrities.The characters were even influenced to take drugs as some celebrities have been arrested for like Lindsay Lohan,there is a shot of her being arrested in the montage.There are not a lot of the popular teen film stereotypes used in this film, this may be because it is a biography,however characters like Rebecca could be described as similar to the popular girl in school which all the other girls want to be friends with;the character Marc could be perceived to be the one with no who always seeks acceptance.
