His Majesty's Jubli Emas procession was a significant moment for the future direction and expectation of Brunei media
If brought into fore what the public expects and wants from visual representations of events whether big or small
His Majesty is the most recognizable person in the country and no doubt everyone wanted their own piece of history
Everyone with a recording device worked their hardest to get the best visual material of HM and the occasion
Using cameraphones, DSLRs and video cams. Every street was filled with potential images of the procession.
Not only did @RTB_News, produce some of their most creative coverage using drone footage and online live streaming 
But we were able to get varying perspectives on the occasion from media sources such as @thescoop bit.ly/2xWtw08
The @newbruneidaily also offered another way of representing the procession vimeo.com/236928137
There were also videos showing another side of the procession which may not usually get filmed and shared #HMJubliEmas
This movement and speed of these images was exciting to behold. As soon as the procession ended. The flood of visual material began.
@ BruneiRoyalFamily has been at the forefront of this trend providing the most varied and all encompassing citizen journalism approach
The visual stream continued into afternoon, by the time of the first news broadcast at 5.45pm. The public had already been through one cycle
The way we consume visual material through Whatsapp and Facebook has inevitably made traditional sources look slow, albeit by a few hours
The Front page of BB didn't reflect the type of images that had already been consumed already in the last 24 hours
Media - as it should always do anyway - has to consider and evaluate their relevance to public consumption
Find ways to adapt and consider new ways to appeal to audiences. The precedence has been set by the biggest occasion in our lifetime.
