5-6 seconds may well be too short for you to actually get good light over your subject. I mean, imagine running from A to B to C to D, switching your torch off in between within 6 seconds. Experiment. It would be a good idea to wear dark clothes yourself so you wouldn't appear on the shot and always leave the torch out of the shot. You could even wear black gloves and have a black card on hand to block light going directly from the source to the camera. But, if you can, light your subject from outside the frame and crouch down behind it as well, hiding yourself as well as your torch from the lens.
If not, you could always run arouns with a penlight or a few and leave streaks of light all over the exposure, which, of course, has its own artistic merits in certain shots.
If you can, get someone else to expose your subject with bulb setting, leaving the lens covered while you move from position to position. With a few trial runs you should be able to determine what works best and get a really impressive shot of your burnt out subject.
