What story do I want to tell...

    So now its time to find out the actual story of my I want to start off my story with the main character trying to talk to their friend about a homework assignment and other school related things. Then I want the main character to start to get distracted, and think a lot of different thought instead of listening to their friend. I will slowly show the main character get more and more distracted, and be more in the thoughts of their head. In order to show the distractions, there will be multiple short clips of the main characters doing other things rather than listening to the friend. These clips will be edited fast, and there will also be a different color filter on top of them. There will also be a voiceover on top of all of this, in order to show the audience the thoughts going on inside the main characters head. Then, it will suddenly cut to the friend trying to get the main character's attention, by waving her hand in front of her. The friend will then ask the main character if they did any of the homework. Then it will show the main character closing 

    Then, the main character will have a flashback to the night before, of when they were trying to do their homework. However, while there are shots of the main character trying to actually do homework, there will also be quick shots inserted to show the late time and also their bad grades. This will show how much their ADHD is not only effecting the way that they talk to people, but also its effect on education. There will also be multiple shots of the main character being very frustrated and mad at themself, for not being able to complete things the same as neurotypical people. 

    Then it will cut back to the person talking to the same friend from the beginning, to show that the scene in between was just a flashback. Since the last thing the friend said was "So did you do the homework?" the friend will now say "Wait, you probably did do the homework. I mean look at you, you look so smart." Then it will show a clip of the main character looking at themself in confusion. This will represent the bias that most people think that brown people are smart and don't have a difficult time in school or other things in life, just because they "look smart."

    After this, I want to try and turn the film opening into a short montage of things people have said to the main character, to show how some people invalidate their ADHD just for being brown. There will be a bunch of different shots showing people saying multiple things like "just concentrate", "You have ADHD? You don't look like it?" and other things similar to this. Although the context is not the same, I want it to kind of look like this video, where the people will be looking directly at the camera. This is because I want to make it seem like it is from the POV of the main character. The last shot will just be the main character screaming and being so frustrated and overwhelemed with all of these thoughts getting into their head.
