How are vectors used in this image? What effect does it have?
Vectors are used in this image to create a line of sight from Hitler in the foreground to the crowds in the background. This shows the viewer the size of the crowd and thus the number of people who have come to see Hitler at this political rally.
Describe the composition of the image and what is tells us about the Nazis and Hitler.
Hitler is located in front of high ranking officers showing his power over those people and he is surrounded by the swastika banners by what appears to military supporters each one with swastika arm bands. This use of uniformed men create a sense of order and the use of the banners show how important Hitler is compared to the rest of the populace.
How is symmetry used? What effect does it have?
Symmetry is used in the two lines of banners with men holding the banners creating a pathway for Hitler and official party to walk down. The effect this symmetry shows is the strength of the political party in support.
What effect does this picture being in black and white have?
The effect the picture has in being black and white blends all the uniformed men into one large group emphasising the number of people located in the crowd supporting Hitler. The black and white imagery also symbolises the ideology of the Nazi party's ideals about the Jewish people.
The contrast of the dark Nazi soldiers and of the colour of the crowd being a lighter colour represents the need the crowd has for to be leaded out of the dark time Germany was currently in.
Discuss the use of line in this image. What effect does it have?
The line created by the walkway moving into the distance accompanied with the large crowds aligned on each side show the order of the party in organisation and power in sheer numbers.
The straight lines used in the banners show the order within the Nazi party and of the ideologies the Nazi party supports.
