“…Thus, while we touch upon aspects of cohesion and coherence across sequences of these multimodal texts (cf. Koga-Browes, 2013; Oddo, 2013), our focus is on the representation of space in relation to how actors make use of these spaces. Therefore, we explore how space is represented in discourse as opposed to exploring the discourse of space (cf.…”

This article analyses the multimodal representations of public space in Chilean broadcast news reports on the figure of the hooded rioter and its alleged connections with the student movement. We seek to identify how space is constructed as a (de)legitimation strategy in relation to the actors involved and the actions taking place across four different news broadcast pieces in the light of Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis and Systemic Functional Linguistics. Results show that the multimodal representations of space are crucial to identify and functionalize hooded rioters as belonging to the student movement. Actions are dependent on the spaces in which actors operate, restricting the occupation of certain spaces to specific actors. Thus, transgressive protest actions are to be contained to educational spaces and represented as naturalized vandalism, ignoring the students’/demonstrators’ motivations to recuperate/vindicate the public space.

“…These are discrete divisions. Koga-Browes in [42] gives an overview of how the shot sizes from different literature sources (books) can be assigned to a division of the human body into 8 zones. It can be seen that this division shows differences from author to author.…”

In a non-professional environment, multi-camera recordings of theater performances or other stage shows are difficult to realize, because amateurs are usually untrained in camera work and in using a vision mixing desk that mixes multiple cameras. This can be remedied by a production process with high-resolution cameras where recordings of image sections from long shots or medium-long shots are manually or automatically cropped in post-production. For this purpose, Gandhi et al. presented a singlecamera system (referred to as Gandhi Recording System in the paper) that obtains close-ups from a highresolution recording from the central perspective. The proposed system in this paper referred to as "Proposed Recording System" extends the method to four perspectives based on a Reference Recording System from professional TV theater recordings from the Ohnsorg Theater. Rules for camera selection, image cropping, and montage are derived from the Reference Recording System in this paper. For this purpose, body and pose recognition software is used and the stage action is reconstructed from the recordings into the stage set. Speakers are recognized by detecting lip movements and speaker changes are identified using audio diarization software. The Proposed Recording System proposed in this paper is practically instantiated on a school theater recording made by laymen using four 4K cameras. An automatic editing script is generated that outputs a montage of a scene. The principles can also be adapted for other recording situations with an audience, such as lectures, interviews, discussions, talk shows, gala events, award ceremonies, and the like. Test persons confirm in an online study the added value of the perspective diversity of four cameras of the Proposed Recording System versus the single-camera method of Gandhi et al.

“…The 'tighter' framing sizes are the VCU (very close-up), the CU (close-up) and MCU (medium close-up); the 'wider' shots were MLS (medium long shot), LS (long shot), VLS (very long shot). Definitions can be found in Koga-Browes (2013).…”
