Burbank
Mia's Home (exterior)
In movie
Scene where Mia moves into her new luxurious house. The action takes place five years after the main events of the movie, she is already a successful actress, she has a husband and a little daughter.
Timing: 01:45:11
Real
Scene was shot in Los Angeles on Marmont Lane, the castle we see is the Chateau Marmont Hotel, and the car turns into the courtyard to this hotel. But further into the shot we see that Mia is living on the first floor, as if in a private home. Perhaps it's the building on the right, which is hidden behind lush bushes and can't be seen from the road.
Los Angeles
Night road
In movie
Scene where Mia and Sebastian are forced to leave the party. They walk along the night road, the sides of which are littered with party guests. They look for their cars and are forced to walk together, though both complain about it, despite the "spark" that has flown between them.
Timing: 00:35:58
Real
Scene was shot on the path in Griffith Park. This place was chosen for its stunning views of the valley, and the many curves the road makes around the hills - it makes the view magical and quite romantic. But it's not entirely authentic - they were at a party in a private house, and there's not much of them in the park, especially not in the place where the scene was filmed.
Los Angeles
Highway
In movie
Scene where people dissatisfied with the traffic jam first start honking, then it becomes a melody, and then they get out of their cars, start singing and dancing, and many even climb on the roofs of their cars.
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.
