Crowd Packing the Plaza and Balconies

What This Image Shows​

A high-angle wide photograph of a dense crowd of mostly young adults filling the concrete plaza between the modern campus buildings. Two promotional canopies stand out in the lower right and centre-right - one in a bright pink and blue gradient carrying SAVE AMERICA - GET INVOLVED, the other white. Spectators pack the elevated walkways and balconies of the surrounding buildings, looking down onto the gathering.

Count the balconies. This frame shows how many people had a raised, unobstructed view down onto the tent area, and how many of them were holding phones.

That is the single most useful thing about it. If hundreds of elevated vantages were occupied, then the volume of unreleased footage of the courtyard is very large, and the question of what was collected, from whom, and what has been withheld becomes a records question with a concrete answer.
