I am thinking of composing a movie about the struggles female roommates may encounter during college life. This topic is interesting to me because I currently live in a single and do not have to worry about the hardships of living with another person, especially someone that I do not know. I have heard stories from my friends about the disgusting things their roommates do, and I thought it would be helpful to create a video that shows students what types of things they could be more considerate about in their rooms. Hopefully after viewing this movie or reading my screenplay, roommates who have disagreements will be able to communicate more effectively and have more success compromising on a solution.
The movie will most likely begin by introducing the two girls to each other on move-in day. One roommate is a complete jock who likes to go to sleep early so she has energy for her hard practices, and the other roommate is a hardcore party girl who likes to stay out late with her friends. When they first meet, they immediately can tell that they do not have a lot in common. The jock is very organized and has to manage her time wisely to balance all of her school work and athletics. The party girl is very messy and spontaneous with her plans. The two girls’ different styles cause tension between them, but they do not want to be rude or mean to the person they will be living with for the next year, so they both put on fake smiles around each other and act like friends.
However, when they are not around each other all they do is talk behind their roommates back to their friends. There will be multiple shots going back and forth from girl to girl with them complaining about little idiosyncrasies they dislike about each other. The issues will be about bedtimes, music preferences, playing music while studying, eating in the room/eating the other persons food, leaving toothpaste in the sink, leaving clothes on the floor, borrowing clothes/shoes without asking, and many other small things that should not be a big deal and are easily fixable through communication.
Eventually, one roommate overhears the other taking negatively about them and it that makes her snap. She starts yelling all of the annoying things she has lived with and says she cannot deal with it anymore. The other roommate is offended and responds with more shouts of discontent with their current situation. They finally communicate with each other about the issues they have been facing, and they realize the other girl would have been willing to change if she knew she was being annoying. After they have their yelling match, they have a serious conversation and begin to make progress toward compromise. The end of the movie will have them as closer friends who do not feel the need to gossip about each other to their friends.
