“Thursday,” a 1991 short film by Leighton Pierce, is described by the director as “something to do with the sensory pleasure of momentary solitude in a domestic setting” (Pierce). Looking at the work, the viewer can observe that Pierce wanted to capture this essence through the simple use of two naturally generated elements; images and sounds. These elements are created primarily by the “domestic environment,” namely Pierce's house. Through “Thursday,” Pierce uses a combination of sound and imagery to emphasize the otherwise unnoticed “sensory pleasure of momentary solitude in a domestic setting.” Perhaps the first thing the viewer recognizes in the film's exposition is the visual aspect, that is, sunlight filtering through a window into a dark room. We can also see tree branches and leaves dancing in the wind outside the window. From this we deduce that the film was shot from inside some sort of building. The next shot shows the shadow of what could be the same tree on the panels of a possible nearby house, which supports the idea that the film was shot inside a house. It is possible that Pierce intentionally used shots from outside the house in the exposition rather than from inside to give the viewer the idea that the house represents the main role in the film. By introducing the piece with shots of an empty house, the viewer might expect another role to appear. Pierce then begins to develop his idea of ​​“sensory pleasure of […] a domestic environment” from a visual perspective by showing a multitude of shots of the interior and exterior of the house from the perspective of the house. We then begin to appreciate the more insignificant features both within and in the center of the card......the information we are looking for, for example "I remember big ties with fish on them". (Brainard 6) could perhaps be set in any time period, others, such as "I Remember the Day Marilyn Monroe Died." (Brainard 7), gives the reader an idea of ​​when the author was alive. It is through these devices that Brainard continues to read to us to discover more about his past. Both Pierce and Brainard have used excellent methods in their respective works to create intriguing and interesting pieces that give inspiration to viewers and readers. By avoiding the use of generic tactics and clichés in their works, they encourage the viewer and reader to think of their choices as shaping their individual stories. Works Cited Brainard, Joe.
