How to make a virtue of necessity? Due to distancing, the media are adapting their production to the tools available. Short focal length, altered faces, in the midst of the rise of HD, the Zoom aesthetic is accepted by viewers eager for first-hand information and new entertainment. Presenters, hosts and actors are also locked up at home, and are organizing themselves with the means at hand.



Perhaps one of the most reactive “ At Home ” productions ios database is the show “ Drinnen im Internet sind alle gleich ” (Inside the Internet, we are all the same) on the German channel ZDF Neo. With the leitmotif:

“No human being had to leave their home for this series.”

From April 3rd, we could follow the confined life of a German actress, Lavinia Wilson, and her husband (in real life) for fifteen episodes. Microphone kit sent by (German) Post, self-makeup, remote editing, the result is funny… and comforting.
