Apreciando la Cultura

By

    Me encanta aprender cosas de diferentes culturas. Creo que es muy importante ser informada sobre los artes del mundo para apreciar a las cosas que son importantes para nuestros amigos. Por eso creo que la clase de Telenovelas fue tan interesante para mi. Estar en una clase donde todos los estudiantes quieren saber mas sobre mi cultura fue muy alegrante. Las telenovelas siempre han sido una parte de mi vida, y me gusto mucho que aunque unos estudiantes nunca han visto telenovelas, estuvieron en clase con preguntas y oídos listos para aprender. 

    A veces en las clases de español me siento un poco incómoda, especialmente cuando hablamos sobre mi cultura. Nunca se como mis alumnos van a responder o si les importa aprender. Pero, en esta clase, todos los estudiantes eran tan atentos y entusiasmos, y se podía ver que les importo aprender. Especialmente en mi grupo de presentaciones, mis alumnos hicieron muy buen trabajo en saber mucho de las telenovelas y hicieron buenos investigaciones para aprender más.

    Algo que esta clase me enseñó es que es importante ser intencionado con tus amigos y ser parte de que les gusta. A mi me hubiera encantado que unos de mis amigos me preguntaría si podemos ver una telenovela juntos. Por eso yo quiero ser una mejor amiga y preguntar a mis amigos que les gustan ver de los artes y que podemos compartir esa experiencia juntos. Hoy, yo estuve con una amiga y me pregunto si yo he visto antes un drama coreano, y me inspiro. Ella tiene mucho para enseñarme, y ojala yo pueda ser lo mismo en compartir mis telenovelas con ella también. 

El arte es supuesto a unir la gente. Aunque sea pinturas, la musica, o hasta la television, es hecho para ser el mundo más bonito y agradable. Cuando nosotros somos cálidos con nuestro comunidad, podemos aprovechar más de esta arte que hace la vida mejor.

The Minds Behind the Madness: Picking the Brains of Some of Telenovelas’ Finest

By
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from all the amazing writers, producers, and actors we’ve met over the last few weeks. It’s amazing how much and how quickly the industry is changing at the spur of the streaming age. It was so interesting to me to hear all the nuances in the Telenovela world today.  Particularly, one of the things I found most intriguing was how Roberto Stopello and El Chascas explained that a new model that many production teams are shifting into is to place writers in the showrunner role as well. As an Entertainment and Media Studies major, I’ve never thought about this before, but it makes so much sense. Everything El Chascas explained is so true. Having the writer double as showrunner really does open up the way for creative solutions and plot driven innovations that someone who does not know the characters inside and out can’t quite replicate.  I really enjoyed hearing from the writers in specific, as they all sounded so passionate and invested about the stories they

Unique works of telenovela production

By
 Learning about production in telenovelas was a very interesting experience. I feel like it is often downplayed by tv viewers, as people define telenovelas/soap operas as having lower quality production than tv shows. If anything, I believe this lesson actually taught me that production is almost more utilized in telenovelas than classic shows. An example is with the actor situation we discussed, a Hollywood set is much more likely to be manipulated by a lead actresses' wants than the telenovela was. They are more dependent and overall Hollywood actors have way more power in their area. Telenovelas are also very dependent on daily ratings and must have the ability to rapidly adjust if necessary, versus Hollywood shows that release weekly and usually have slow change, if any to their content regardless of ratings. Telenovela writers very much have to be writers for the people/fans, being aware of what others want, while also respecting their personal work enough to know when to stan

How Long Will Telenovelas Go On?

By
      Telenovelas have been very successful and followed for many years. I'm 21-years-old, and I remember watching telenovelas when I got home from school in 2010. My mom grew up watching telenovelas in the 1980's. But the world has changed a lot since the beginning of telenovelas - how much longer will they be around?     When telenovelas first started airing on television in the 1950's, the world was a much simpler place. It made sense for the concept of a telenovela to do well, because there wasn't as much going on. It was common for women and children to be at home while men worked, and the women and children needed something to fill their time. Scheduled programming with an exciting and turbulent plot was sure to do well when there was a huge audience ready to watch. And given that women and children were spending so much time at home, they could devote enough time to watch the great deal of episodes each telenovela would put out.      Today, it's far less comm
