Screen Write

Dispute

A teenager is conflicted with a bland and uncanny life he has let himself develop. He will be opposing himself throughout with various actions.

Scene 1: Justin 1 finds himself observing all of his home work and chores provided by his parents on his desk in  his bedroom. He walks to the window and looks down to see Justin 2 playing around outside in the front yard. Justin 1 then torpidly returns to his seat and commences to work on some math homework. Justin 2 opens the door in a furious and obstructive manner. He walks to the desk and throws the math homework to the ground. Justin 1 picks the homework back up, in a sluggish manner, and goes back to doing homework. Justin 2 pours kerosene on the papers and lights them on fire. Justin 1 stand up, glares at Justin 2 and walks out of the bedroom.

Scene 2: This will be a compilation of multiple scenes residing around Justin's House:
  • Justin 1 will be vacuuming while Justin 2 unplugs the power cord (small repetitive fight)
  • Justin 1 raking leafs into a decent pile while Justin 2 kicks the leaves around and causes a rut 
  • Justin 1 will take out the trash and stop to tie his shoe as Justin 2 sneaks up to the trash bag and stabs at it with a knife furiously and then sneaks away leaving Justin 1 with a mess
  • Justin 1 picks up dog poop in backyard with a poop pail and places it near the backdoor to his garage. He proceeds to walk back to the sliding glass door as Justin 2 sneak up a distance behind him with the pail in his hands. He throws the dog poop towards Justin 1 managing to hit him with some. (Note* it wont be real poop being thrown at him, but small dirt-like projectiles) Justin 1 will turn around slightly upset with the same muggy glare he has been giving Justin 2.
  •  Justin 1 proceeds to take a shower and Justin 2 comes in to pour cold water, from a bowl, on Justin 1 over the shower curtain. He will run off and Justin 1 will pull the curtain slightly to give a glare
Scene 3: Justin 1 is sitting at a kitchen table staring at Justin 2. They are both at opposite ends of the table. The shot will have view of the whole table so that both Justin's will be visible. Justin 2 will fade away and Justin 1 will get up and walk out of the scene. Justin 1 will open the front door to his house and see multiple Justin 2's standing in the front yard staring at him. He will then blink and they will all be gone.

Actors:
Justin 1 - Justin
Justin 2 - Justin

Justin 1 is going to wear formal yet casual attire and Justin 2 will wearing very informal "lazy" clothing.

  1. Justin,

    the beauty is your character 1 seeing character 2 doing the things he wants to be doing. Justin 2 is a manifestation of Justin 1's desires. Make sure you keep that idea in mind as you shoot each other conflict scene. The poop throwing might be a funny gag, but it doesn't make sense unless Justin 2 is having fun while Justin 1 is scooping poop.

    Great concept.
