2020 has been a year filled with both uncertainty and isolation as individuals cope with social distancing and being quarantined. Approximately ⅓ of the world’s population replaced boredom with experimentation, developing skills, finding new hobbies, and self-reflection. People were exercising, reading, gardening, cooking, baking, binge-watching, and drastically altering their appearance. Those who participated in these activities were inspired by popular influencers on platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, etc. Having an activity to focus on, rather than doom-surfing the internet, provided many a chance to exhibit themselves as better people. Even experts concluded that these new projects were a form of healthy diversion and a coping mechanism. 89% of 2,000 people discovered interesting facts about themselves by attempting a variety of hobbies. 94% listed mental health benefits and mood improvements. Additionally, learning new skills allowed people to enhance their life in the pandemic, and enabled them to destress from economic and health concerns. However, maintaining this open-minded view towards certain hobbies and skills wasn’t simple, especially when an individual is quarantined with their loved ones for a prolonged time. Of course, time with family means positivity and infinite love, but don’t we need our alone time? This implies a lack of alone time and maybe some immature arguments here and there due to the rising tensions between household members. There is no harmony when your personal territory is invaded by your partner, friends, family, roommate, etc. Since scientifically, we all need a space to self-reflect, rest, and keep in touch with our zen.
This group of five friends has been together since they were small, loving every moment they have together. But does it get tiring of spending each day with each other? Friends 2.0 shows the experiences of these friends struggling with their battles while living with each other but, the fun and enjoyable parts of friendships. They’ve been living together for two years since the beginning of college. The five are inseparable and never get tired of living with each other. At the beginning of the quarantine, some friends developed a new habit. A baker, a binge-watcher, changing their hair every week. After two weeks things started to get hectic. Everyone starts to get at it with each other and their personalities are clashing together. The creative choices we made was creating less dialogue and adding more actions. Adding more action scenes can bring more emotion to a film rather than just talking, our actions reflect how we feel.
