The vectors used in the image is the size of the people, basically, the small the person, the weaker the power, in this art, Hitler is probably the biggest in the photo despite the stairs where Hitler is climbing up, it shows that Hitler has more power then any other High-ranking Nazi officer. Also used to focal the point of the image (Adolf Hitler), the flags also show a few points of the image too. Gives us point that Hitler has a lot of power and that he is an important character in history

The composition of the image is that the Nazis and Hitler are more clearly shown because they have the ones that have more power that the citizens who are blurred out because they are weak. 90% of people in the image are citizens who are pushed across the side. The stairs in the picture shows that Hitler will be rising to power.

Symmetry is used by showing straight lines when compared to Hitler since he is standing straight while marching up the stairs. He is in the middle of the symmetry line of this picture as the other officers are sometimes not standing straight and are placed not in a good part of symmetry.

The effect showing that this picture is Black and White has many effects: Shows that this picture is very old, the people are not happy and that this is a picture of bad people, they drain the happiness removing all emotion and making it very serious, it also makes them ruthless killers. All the citizens are white and the soldiers are black which shows a difference which shows the Nazi's are more important because they have more power. The color white of the citizens shows innocence and hope while black from the soldiers shows darkness and evil.

The use of lines show that the citizens in the background have very curve lines while the soldiers are sharp and straight.
