It would allow a brief description of scenes filmed there or activities/history of note. Like say: Hurricane Gordo forced a 6 months delay while sets were rebuilt; Sets buried in desert at end of production; Library scenes filmed on the campus. etc.
Discussions on Filming location

Is it worth breaking out a film's setting/s and its location/s? Lots of films are set in places other than those in which they're actually filmed (for example, set in NYC, but filmed in Toronto).

This could be in the notes property (see below).

Adding the type Work of Fiction to a film will get you the "settings" property.

i noticed that some tv shows got typed as films b/c a user listed the tv shows in the film location property. this is pretty logical since i don't think there's a tv location type. wonder if we should add them and then clean up the data? i noticed it on seattle which lists frasier and grey's anatomy as films.

If you add the type "work of fiction" to a TV program or TV episode, you can add the location there. This is a bit cumbersome, but allows the "fictional setting" type to be used across domains. The film domain is the outlier, here, since it was one of the first domains. Arguably, the film domain should be brought into alignment with the other media domains.

ah yes. that works wonderfully. wonder if we should include "work of fiction" in the tv program type so they always have that option?
also, the reciprocal property is a little confusing. if i saw "works set here" without any context i'd be very confused. can we change it to "fictional works set here"? too long?-
TV programs are not always (not necessarily even mostly) works of fiction -- whatever one thinks of TV news and reality shows notwithstanding -- so I'm reluctant to add it as an included type.
Good suggestion on the reverse property name; "Fictional Works Set Here" is much clearer. I've made this change.
