What aspects of the film’s black and white cinematography seem to contribute to the film’s meaning, in terms of its themes, its plot, its characters, etc.

For the answer you should examine how the camera itself is used to create meaning, consider the types of film stock itself, the types of lighting (from the point of view of the person responsible for recording the film — the cinematographer, or director of photography), the different types of shots (defined in terms of the relationship between the subject and the camera — close-up, medium shot, extreme long shot, etc.), special camera effects, the different ways the camera can move (and the terms associated with its movement like pan and and tilt), the angles used, and the way that the camera can use all these tools.
