The Lands of Ice and Fire

So that map?

The narrative chart started this project for Game of Thrones.

Narrative chart

How many people are in every location?

Other Interfaces

In addition to the Narrative Chart visualization, I've also made two other interfaces for exploring datasets that are part of this project. Episode Recap Viewer A compilation of several of the visualizations below, where data is filtered by episode. Choose an episode to explore how characters accumulate screen time, the locations shown in the episode, wordcount distributions, the opening sequence locations, and more. Game of Thrones Script Search Search across all dialogue spoken throughout Game of Thrones. Search for text, phrases (in quotes), characters, or languages (e.g. Dothraki or High Valyrian).

Screen Time

Some of the easiest things to visualize are representations of when characters are on screen and where those characters are.

When are characters are on screen?

Where do scenes take place?

More specifically, where do scenes take place?

When are "special" scenes?

When do people die?

When do weapons show up?

Which Houses are on screen?

How many characters are on screen?

What about continuous on screen time?

Cumulative Time

It's also fairly trivial to count how long characters are on screen (in total, by season, or per episode), how long they spend in certain locations, or the number of locations and time spent in each per episode.

How long are characters on screen?

How long are characters in each season?

How long are characters in each episode?

How long is spent in each location?

How long is spent in each more-specific location?

What percentage of characters' time is in each season?

How long are characters on screen relative to all time?

How long are Houses on screen?

What percentage of time do characters spend in various locations?

How many locations are in each episode?

What's the gender balance of screen time per season?

What's the gender balance of screen time per episode?

What's the percent gender balance of screen time per episode?

Wordcount & Language

How many words do characters speak?

How many words do characters speak in each season?

How many words do characters in each House speak?

What's the gender balance of words spoken per season?

What's the gender balance of words spoken per episode?

What's the percent gender balance of words spoken per episode?

What languages do characters speak?

What languages are spoken in each episode?

Co-Occurrence

Which characters are on screen together?

... or as a force-directed network?

... or as a chord diagram?

This chord diagram looks at character co-occurrences (two characters showing up in the same scene) across the show, the same data as above, just in a different representation.

Relationships

Which characters are connected?

Which characters are connected?

Which characters have sex?

Actor Relationships

Which actors have been in movies with other Game of Thrones actors?

... or as a matrix?

Lands of Ice and Fire Geography

I hadn't yet done much with the list of locations shown during the opening sequence of Game of Thrones. For this, I really wanted to be able to show the places on a map of Westeros, Essos, Sothyros, and Ulthos. To do that, I built upon what others had done, but converted a .png to .svg to .geojson. More on that below.

Is there a pattern in the opening locations?

Could I show them in geographic space?

What about on a globe?

The opening sequences could look like this?

... or this?

Where have various characters travelled?

Prediction

Who will end up on the Iron Throne?
