Changes in the perception of films through the use of random variations
Introduction
There are films that you want to forget immediately after viewing. There are films that for some reason like and want to watch again and again. The problem is that after watching the movie a few times, all the main points of the movie, all the special effects and all the dialogues of the characters are firmly in their heads. This technology will come to the aid of those who suffer from working memory while watching movies.

Shortly about
Break the pattern of film straightness by adding alternative elements to the film strip and their subsequent random selection.
Some examples of use
(from simple to complex):
Sound
Sounds that are not directly related to the characters (ambient) can change.
• Rustle buoys of the protagonist may change
• The cries of animals in the jungle can be different
• Musical accompaniment (the radio in the hero's car can play different songs)
Additional material
The use of random elements changes the rhythm of the film. It is also possible to change the duration of the scenes.
• Random accents
• Additional dialogues / scenes
Changing the sequence of scenes
Unrelated scenes can be displayed in random order.
Variation of action
Variation is used in a single action.
• Action shot simultaneously from multiple angles.
• Secondary parts (vehicles, weapons, etc.)
• Character dialogues can be different.
Different endings and storylines
Several films in one.
• A random event changes the number of storylines (death / appearance of a minor character, accident, disappearance / appearance of objects / tools, etc.)
• In the horror film to the end different characters survive
• In a drama, a heroine who suffers from a serious illness has a chance to live to the end of the film.
• In an action movie, a villain has a chance to defeat the main character, etc., etc.
The use of technology is limited to the director’s imagination and film budget.
Possible degrees of variation
• Complete randomness: all variations are chosen randomly without the participation of the viewer / director. The option is acceptable for movie theaters and home viewing.
• Partial coincidence: the player remembers how often the film looks - the most spectacular set of scenes, from the point of view of the director, is shown for the first time, the next time a random version is shown, and so on. The option is acceptable for movie theaters and home viewing.
• Selective randomness: the viewer chooses a set of scenes himself (interactive film). The function may be hidden. The option is only suitable for home viewing.
Other aspects of technology
• Increase the motivation to watch a movie several times.
• Soft anti-piracy technology
• Increased motivation for buying a disc
Afterword
Having watched such a film once it would be impossible to say: “I have already watched it”. In films with a classic production, where the director wants to have greater control over the impressions of the audience, all variations can be secondary, and not affect the course of events introducing an element of surprise. This technology will most likely be in demand (as well as 3D technology) in spectacular films: in action films, in horror films and in science fiction.
In anticipation of the emergence of such technology, when watching your favorite movies, you can fool yourself as follows: in the settings, flip the image (Video - Flip Horizontal) and sound (Audio - Reverse Stereo) and enjoy the “new” old movie.
