The Group decided to film in Chicago because the Crosstown rivalry in our plot is in the city of Chicago. They decided to film in Millennium Park because that would be nice scenery. The Opening was decided to be the prologue rewritten as news reporters giving a sports report live on the spot. This is why the beginning is filmed on top of the Lancaster. They also decided that the Characters should be dressed like Sox and Cubs fans based on which side of the rivalry they support. The fans are like the servants so to say, because they support the team. During some of the tension scenes, the term "Sir" and "Hell" and "All can go die!" are used because we were trying to make reference to the original scene, and we also wanted to have that 'trash talk' so to say, without the really vulgar and derogatory statements. Along with that, "Hell" is used as a noun, and not an adjective in this sense. During the fight scene, the "Duel of the Fates" by John Williams plays, and stays playing through the rest of the scene, because that represents all the fighting going on off screen. The shooting in The Lancaster and the park, was decided, because one of the group member's aunt and uncle lived there, and were gracious enough to lend it for the day.  This is a ground picture of the building, The Lancaster, used for shooting and editing. The prologue was taken on the roof, and the conflict was taken at the park across the street, and the rest was at Millennium Park which was down the street from The Lancaster. |

The view of the Bean at Millennium Park, this is the filming site of the first part of scene one. Acquired from Google Earth The roof of the Lancaster, filming site of the prologue, all three of us were at different point on the roof. Below is the park we filmed the fight scene in. Millennium Park, which is where the opening of scene one was filmed, is just down Randolph, the street going from the condo complex surrounding the "small" park. Both Acquired from Google Earth |
