I asked the four performers in the videos to keep their eyes open as long as possible. As a result, they held their eyes open for different lengths of time. I then adjusted a one-minute ticking clock sound to match the length of each video and inserted it. For example, if a performer keeps their eyes open for one minute and fifteen seconds, the one-minute clock sound is stretched to one minute and fifteen seconds and inserted into that video. In general, when a sound becomes longer, its pitch falls. Conversely, when it becomes shorter, its pitch rises. In the end, the videos of different lengths each play a clock sound of a different pitch. Finally, I looped each edited video separately.
