Holocaust Imagery - Hitler at a Nazi Rally



How are vectors used in this image? What effect does it have?      
The vectors are used to show the balance of the Nazis and never the ending amount of soldiers to the sides of Hitler                                                   
Describe the composition of the image and what is tells us about the Nazis and Hitler?
The focal point in this picture is Hitler and on either side of him stands his soldiers. Even though there are more Nazis than Hitler he still seems the most powerful. Also by the way the soldiers are facing you can tell that Hitler is obviously the most powerful.
How is symmetry used? What effect does it have?
Symmetry is used on either side of Hitler. This has a huge effect as the balance between each side represents the power of which the Nazis had. The Symmetry makes the soldiers and Hitler look indestructible
What effect does this picture being in black and white have?
The use of black and white makes the photograph look old, terrifying, powerful and for some reason it symbolizes that they were dark times and that power was held within these soldiers and Hitler. Without the colour all the happiness is drained from the picture. It makes the photo more serious.The white of the people represents innocence whilst the black of the Soldiers and Hitler represents evil.
Discuss the use of line in this image. What effect does it have?
The use of lines in the image make the soldiers look balanced and powerful. They also make the picture more dark and more horrible
