The Awakening of Jacob
No.6 · fades into No.7
Film excerpts retain the surrounding dialogue, effects and layered music.
No.6, Danny talks with Tony while brushing his teeth
No.45, Jack tells Wendy of his bad dream
No.48(layered with Shining / heartbeat cue)
The choice of music is ironic because Danny’s loss of consciousness and vision of something horrible and the biblical text behind the work is ‘being aware that God is there to protect you’.
This is the opposite of its intended purpose.
The occurrences for the music relate to Danny talking with Tony about not wanting to go to the hotel and why Tony was afraid, Jack’s “I had a horrible nightmare”, and Jack embracing the woman in Room 237 and transitioning to the reality of the decaying woman.
