The Madrid Audiovisual Map is a map viewer that displays filming locations of movies and series shot in the Madrid Region. It is the result of a Madrid Region research project, financed by the European Social Fund, La ficción audiovisual en la Comunidad de Madrid: lugares de rodaje y desarrollo del turismo cinematográfico (Audiovisual fiction in Madrid Region: filming locations and development of screen tourism) (H2019/HUM-5788). The group is made up of researchers from the fields of geography, audiovisual communication, library science and documentation, and tourism from five Spanish universities and one international university. Read more about the project here.
The viewer is for exclusively academic purposes. Use of archive materials is protected under the right of quotation (art. 32 TRLPI, RD. 1/1996).
This viewer is the result of a work process that follows methodology developed by the Grupo Geocine. Read more about this methodology here.
The established filters correspond to the categories of analysis used in the project Las ciudades españolas en la ficción audiovisual. Registro documental y análisis territorial y audiovisual (Spanish cities in audiovisual fiction. A document registry and territorial and audiovisual analysis) (FACES).
Filters relating to data on the specific piece: the corpus for this project is made up of fiction series and movies released before 2019. The criteria selection is based on a ranking established by IMDb user ratings, taking into account those with a minimum 750 votes.
Filters relating to spatial distribution: the locations represented refer to exteriors and transportation infrastructures in the urban areas for towns and cities with a population of over 10,000.
Narrative time: era in which narration takes place.
Substitutions: cases in which a given location is used to represent a narrative space different from the actual filming location. Substitute filming locations are differentiated by town/city, those within the same town or city (intra-urban substitutions), and those that simulate fictitious spaces. Included within this last category are those locations, where, though not explicitly specified in the film’s diegesis, their narrative location pertains to another geographic area. Read more about filming location substitutions here.
Reconstructions: cases in which the place represented is artificially created via sets or post-production simulating a real space, but which is different from the actual filming location.
Transformations: cases that, by comparing locations at the time of shooting and their current state, reveal changes undergone in the urban space (architectural, vegetation, uses, etc.). Read more about transformations here.
Types of shot: this refers to the height that the camera is placed. We distinguish between “ground” and “high angle” for those shots filmed from an elevated surface, such as a tower or rooftop; and “aerial” for zenithal views and which encompass an extensive area of territory.
