I'm on the fence as to whether this should be a distinct domain. One could argue that these properties should simply be added to the fictional universe domain - which I'm happy to engage with those domain administrators about... but I've modeled the types here a bit differently to reflect the case of the Overlook Hotel which is one fictional setting that was filmed in two different places for two different versions of the same creative work.
The other benefit of this approach is that it provides a link back from the location, one that the owners of the location domain may not want to apply to that type.
Thoughts?

It appears that this would be a bridging property/domain between Fictional Universe and Film/TV.
I was thinking on how it would be interesting to relate the film location to what its representing on screen.
Vancouver as San Francisco for many TV shows. Toronto for New York. New Zealand locations for Middle Earth and Narnia locations.
There's sailing vessels that are represented as napoleonic war-era warships.
So I could easily see how this might not fit directly into any existing domain.

I like this model. We could stick something like this in the Media Common domain, since it bridges several media-related domains, or in the Fictional Universe domain, since it ties to Fictional Setting.
How would we integrate this with the existing Work of Fiction and Fictional Setting types? These were designed to be used the same for all types of media. Making a distinct model for video media complicates it: Do we need one type (Work of Fiction) with two properties -- one for video media, one for others, or do we need two types -- one for video, one for others. Either way, it's going to be tricky to help users know which they should use.
