For systematically analyzing the news videos, we employed the multimodal discourse approach of film cohesion (Tseng, 2013), which operates by picking out how the deployment of visual image, sound, verbal language, written language, camera movement, framing, color, and many more pattern together so as to introduce and coherently track people, places, objects and events within an unfolding event sequence. In other work, we have found that the cohesion structures resulting from such analyses appear to play significant roles for scaffolding an audience’s perception and understanding of narratives (cf., e.g., Tseng et al., 2021).
