Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The topic that I chose for this Carto lab is \u2018Woody Allen Love NYC\u2019. The reason why I choose this topic because I saw so many his movies\u00a0shot\u00a0in NYC,\u00a0they may give me the first impression of this city, and even though every movie could tell\u00a0different stories. However, I\u00a0still want to see these place in real life. Like novel fanatics want to track their writer’s step, I want to see how movie depict a city with locations.<\/p>\n

I love to choose art products data, not only for me myself like them, on the other side, I want to explore the story from various angles.\u00a0 The idea came from an article:\u00a0On Close and Distant Reading in Digital Humanities: A Survey and Future Challenges. <\/em>Distant Reading could generate an abstract view from observing textual content to visualizing global features of single or multiple texts.[1] Moretti [2] describes distant reading as \u201ca little pact with the devil: we know how to read texts, now let\u2019s learn how not to read them.\u201d This time, I\u00a0try to combine “near watching” and “distant reading” in Woody Allen’s movies. Give people who love movies an interesting direction to explore after they saw the movies. Also, from this map, you could see what kind of location Woody Allen prefer.<\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u00a0create this visualization\u00a0by\u00a0Carto<\/a>\u00a0as the primary software. It provides\u00a0GIS<\/a>\u00a0with several data layers without coding. It’s simple to use and also\u00a0beautiful.<\/p>\n

In terms of data, the\u00a0basic sources are from NYC Open Data<\/a>. And the location of movies\u00a0came from The World Wide Guide To Movie Locations.<\/a>\u00a0This Website mainly by the film lovers capture movies sightseeing and write it down. Since the article describes locations orderly, I collect them orderly according to the development plot of the stories.<\/p>\n

    Target Groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    My target group is people who want to know more details or who want to change a perspective to movies. Especially movie fans and major person.<\/p>\n

    Inspiration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    For my visualization, I went through various\u00a0dynamic geographic visualizations. For me, dynamic and interactive visualization is only a form for people look at things in an active and vivid way. But because of that, people could create fantastic stories in terms of life\u00a0better.<\/p>\n
