I also never really thought about how many factors were in play for the production of a telenovela. For example, when we talked about how the producers of a telenovela would not allow the writers to mention certain things in an episode because they are afraid of how the government will react is pretty crazy. Also, when you think about how an episode of a telenovela airs every night, that makes the amount of work put into them that much more impressive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639315351638959014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335674606756014682.post-79346562255083163582016-02-28T16:25:05.646-08:002016-02-28T16:25:05.646-08:00When entering this class, I just thought we would ...When entering this class, I just thought we would just examine telenovela after telenovela. Instead we had a very in-depth analysis into what makes up a telenovela including production, characteristics,etc. I never realized the magnitude of the work that it takes to get a telenovela started and be successful. One of the favorite topics in the class for me was censorship as it detailed the rise and decline of the telenovela market in Venezuela. It an eye opening experience to see how a thriving entertainment sector in one country can be weakened in just less than 10 years. Also it led me to contrast the media culture of the United States to the media culture of Venezuela. Overall, this class has been very enlightening and fun to be a part of.
