The Third Man
The opening of ‘The Third Man’ starts with a very strong English voice over. The voice over talks about Vienna. In contrast to him talking about the Vienna war there is cheerful music playing in the background. This could symbolise the victory is for the winning country. When the man starts to talk about the black market he lowers his voice this shows that it is not acceptable and that people shouldn’t hear you talking about it.
‘The Third Man’ has footages from what seems to be news footage from the Vienna war this shows realization and relevant ness It also flicks between shots of places in Vienna. The beginning of ‘The Third Man’ seems to be more like a documentary’
The setting of ‘The Third Man’ is very gothic. We can tell this by the uses of architecture. The architecture of ‘The Third Man’ is very dark and mysterious. The use of churches shows the contract with good and evil. This has also been used with the staircase. The main character is shown to have little importance in the opening of ‘The Third Man’ by how he is low down on one floor of the staircase while the camera is on the stairs above. The staircase could imitate the distance between heaven and hell.
This is also show by the man who is cleaning the chandelier. He points to heaven and says ‘hell’ and then points to hell and says ‘heaven’.
The third man seems to be set in winter these cerates a very gothic film noir scene.
Lighting is used to show the sadness and the darkness. This is shown by the white faces at the funeral that seem to be surrounded by darkness and death. Dark vs. white has been used a lot in the opening scene of the third man. The scene with the floating body in the river is emphasized by how dark the body is and how light the water.
