Eye Witness Style for Contemplative Effect

Rioting in North Jakarta, 14th of April 2010. It started out as a protest against the bulldozing of the area in front of the Mbah Priuk memorial site considered to be sacred by the local people. The people were up in arms after hearing a boy was beaten by the Public Order Officers and taken to a hospital near the site. This footage was taken the night after the riot.

I made the report with an eye witness style to it. The aim was to make it more contemplative instead of just reporting as it was. So, I tried to depict as much chaos and disorder to show the viewers how far a misunderstanding can go when public officers work without caution or sensitivity to the public.
