Virtual Short Film - Script

Introduction of VR Flashback device.
[VR Flashback - Landing page]

Adam (a 26-year-old guy) walks toward his car, presses the remote, gets in, and places a cardboard box on the right seat.
He turns on the radio. [..music..]
Increases the volume.
He looks at the passenger seat and sees the package...

[..memories..]
The car's music remains at a low volume.
He sees himself sitting (as if waiting), and the doorbell rings.
A package arrives...
He signs for it,
Opens it...
The package's contents are revealed: -VR Flashback- Virtual reality glasses, instructions, a headset.
The box reads virtual reality, hypnosis, binaural sounds.
He reads the instructions briefly, downloads the app that serves as the controller.
He puts on the headset and uses his phone to press

[... Start recording ...]

Then Adam leaves the house and heads towards the car.
He carries the box on his arm. The headset is in his ear, turned on.
He operates the car using the controller.
[../memories..]

He returns to the scene inside the car, looking at the box. Music starts playing again at a high volume.
He starts the car and drives off. (Scene similar to this: https://youtu.be/x0tKmNndImE)
He turns off the radio, lowers the volume, and goes to a friend's house.
Dex, the friend, opens the door.
Adam begins to tell him about the VR Flashback.
"I received it today... It's a prototype... I'm trying it for the first time now.
It combines virtual reality technology with hypnosis, binaural sounds, and other things...
...It records life experiences. A person's complete perception. What one sees, hears, smells, thinks, remembers, imagines. Everything. Even feelings and emotions.
I've been recording for a while. If you want, you can try to see the result.
You lie down, put on the glasses and headphones, and then the program hypnotizes you. As soon as you're in a trance state, the playback starts.
Essentially, you'll be me, from the moment I left home until now."

Dex says: Alright, sounds good. I'll give it a try.

Adam:
For the music you want to wake up with, I'll use the default one, okay?

Dex listens for a moment and says: Yes, I like it.

Adam looks at the app on his phone, searches for the song, adds it to the project, and then presses "End recording."

When his finger touches [End recording], the overall video darkens, and the animated GIF with the chosen song starts playing.

[...Restoring original memory...]

Images of Dex's memories are shown... (the song continues playing)
Moments before Adam arrived. For example, Dex in the kitchen drinking a glass of water.
When Adam knocks on the door.
When he opens the door...
When Adam explains how the VR recorder works...
When Dex lies down and puts on the glasses and headphones...
...And now... He wakes up...

Then Dex is seen sitting on the couch, very surprised, looking down into emptiness, with the glasses and headphones removed.
Adam, standing, looks at him and asks, placing a hand on his shoulder, slightly concerned. How did it go?
