Timing: 00:04:32
Real
Scene was shot at the exit from the 110 freeway to the 105 freeway, it is a road running through the whole Los Angeles and very often there are many kilometers of traffic jams, so the situation shown in the movie is not rare here, of course without dancing and singing. The road was chosen for 2 qualities - it is very gray, concrete and not cheerful, which contrasts strongly with the dancing and bright people in the scene. Second - it is built above the city, so the camera captures great views of the valley all the time during filming.
