The Screenwriters Speak: An Analysis of Their Professional Practice
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article analyses various characteristics of Spanish national fiction, particularly that broadcast during prime time, through the perspectives of around twenty currently active screenwriters. Drawing on their professional experience and responses, this qualitative study aims to reveal the extent to which national fiction is rooted in generalist and realist (costumbrista) content, whether stereotypes are used to construct characters, and how their use may vary depending on the production company’s working model. It also explores the degree to which reality is used as a source of inspiration for series creation, including characters, plots, and themes.
