Last night, France 2 broadcast its first (and last?) Bravos d’or ceremony with an achievement that surprised everyone, to say the least.
Bravos d’or: rewarding what works with the public
While the Golden 7s have long since disappeared and the ceremonies are often criticized for being elitist by never rewarding public success, France 2 wanted to innovate with the Golden Bravos which rewarded everything that had worked this year. year to the public. “Everything” is indeed the first problem of the evening because it gave the impression of casting a very wide net and mixing everything up to see the complete list.

And the public was visibly lost by the ambition of the show which only attracted 926,000 viewers, a disaster for the public service. But all evening, the spectators were overwhelmed by something else: the production of the show.
Filming from behind: a broken camera or an experiment?
Throughout the evening, presenters and guests alike were filmed from behind and what was filmed was projected on a giant screen that spectators and viewers watched all the time. Beyond the fact that the ceremony was in a performance hall (Théâtre Marigny) without the hosts and guests ever facing the public, from home we watched TV and a screen which broadcast the show. To understand the meaning of the production, you had to read the interview with the brilliant director Gérard Pullicino on TV Mag present on the set: “Gérard Pullicino wanted to go out of the ordinary and thus recorded the evening in sequence with a single camera . “There is no cut. We want to transport viewers through a big screen to have more fluidity”explains the director. A novelty which was not the easiest to manage for the facilitator. “Usually, I play a lot with the camera on looks, little silences. There, it was unbearable, I didn’t know where to look, I didn’t know where the camera was, I didn’t know what it was filming, I didn’t know where I was.«
