Here is the sound playing (keep in mind that the sound will be going to the rhythm of the clock being shown):
As you can see pairing this with the clock will show how the character narrows his attention down to small things and gets stuck on them. In this scene, he won't even notice that his mom came in the room, all his focus is on tapping the pencil to the speed of the clock. We came up with this idea because of an article I found (click here to view the whole source) that said,
"We are able to alter our activity or modulate our responses, depending on relevant peripheral information that appears after the task has begun. Psychopaths are specifically deficient in this ability"
This is exactly what the character, which we are trying to establish as a psychopath, is doing. So much that he doesn't even recognize his mom entered the room.
Not only this, but in the same article it also explains how they have a "very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of discharge of aggression, including violence". To We will also be including this in our scene by making him get frustrated and irritated at his mom when she makes him stop the pencil. Then, he will become violent by smashing the door on the way out of the room.
That's it for today guys, I hope you can see why all these little elements are important to the film because if they are done incorrectly they might send the wrong message out, and this is why a lot of research was put into this section of the film. I'll see you guys later!
