The movie was filmed in New York City to capture the atmosphere of the 1960s and the world of Andy Warhol. New York was the center of the cultural revolution at the time, and its unique architecture and urban landscape were perfect for recreating Warhol's life and work. Scenes were shot in historic neighborhoods and studios to capture the spirit of the era as accurately as possible and to show the locations where the events portrayed in the film actually took place.

Scene where at the very end of the movie, when all the events have been completed, we are shown the final shots of Eddie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) reading her potential obituary. In the background of these words, we are shown footage of her writing something near an artificial lake and being photographed with Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce). These shots show a still young and hopeful Addie, who has not gone through the destructiveness of the environment she was so eager to enter at the beginning of the movie. This scene emphasizes the tragic nature of her fate and the contrast between her dreams and reality. The place by the artificial lake symbolizes her desire for peace and harmony, which she could not find in the world of art and fame.

Scene was shot near the Conservatory Water, or in other words, the artificial pond in Central Park, which is located just off New York's famous main street, Fifth Avenue. This footage shows Eddie at a time when she is still full of hopes and dreams, unaware of the hardship and destruction that awaits her. This creates a strong contrast to her later fate, emphasizing the tragic nature of her story. The artificial pond seems to symbolize Eddie's longing for the peace and harmony she never found in the world of art and fame. This black and white image reinforces the sense of lost opportunities and unfulfilled hopes.
