Where is pitch perfect filmed

As with the first "Pitch Perfect," the sequel is set at the fictional Barden University of Pennsylvania but was shot in and around Baton Rouge.

Among the locations used for the film were Louisiana State University campus, which stood in for Barden; the Old Governor's Mansion, which doubled for the Barden dean's office; and a mansion on Highland Park Road, which hosted an underground a cappella league throwdown. Needing a crowd of bodies to make up the concert audience, producers issued an open invitation for fans to show up and participate.

The response was overwhelming. Typical New York charm! This iconic theater is where we fell in love with the Bellas in the first place, as they sing their medley of hits in this filming location.

The Barden Bellas are a collegiate, all-girls a cappella singing group thriving on female pop songs and their perfect looks. After a disastrous failing at last year's finals, they are forced to regroup.

Among the new recruits is freshman Beca, an independent, aspiring DJ with no interest in the college life. The film opened in selected theaters on September 28, and everywhere on October 5, The captain of the group, Alice, tells Chloe and Aubrey , the only junior members of The Bellas, that she can't believe she's being forced to leave the group in their hands when the rest of the group noots in the fall.

The group goes out to perform, but stressed from all the pressure, Aubrey ends up getting sick and throwing up on the stage during her solo. Four months later, it is the beginning of another school year, and Beca Mitchell is on her way to Barden University , home of the Treblemakers and the Bellas. Forced by her father, a professor in the university, to give college a try before giving into her desire to pursue a career as a DJ in Los Angeles.

Upon arrival, she is greeted by a perky girl, serenaded by a stranger in a car driving into the university, and is placed in a dorm she has to share with Kimmy Jin , a Korean who wants absolutely nothing to do with her. To avoid her father, Beca attends the activities fair where she meets Fat Amy over a "Deaf Jews" booth she mistook for a DJing club, and later Chloe and Aubrey, the senior and only remaining members of the Bellas, who are desperate to recruit members after their embarrassment at the finals.

Beca tells them that she can't sing and walks away. She then decides to go for an internship at the local radio station, where she meets the manager, Luke , and Jesse Swanson , the stranger who was singing to her earlier. Meanwhile, Jesse shares a room with eccentric magician and nerd, Benji Applebaum , who worships the Treblemakers. A month later, Beca's father finds out she has not been going to class and chastises her for not getting involved more.

He makes a deal with her that if she joins a club and proves that she's tried to be involved, he will help her get to LA and pursue DJing at the end of the year if she still wants to. Later on, Beca is singing to herself in the shower. Chloe overhears and confronts her, begging her to join the Bellas.

Chloe says she will not leave until Beca sings with her, so the girls harmonize on a few lines of "Titanium.

At the a cappella auditions, all hopefuls are told to sing a few lines of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" on stage in front of the school's existing a cappella groups.

Beca decides to audition in the last minute, performing Lulu and the Lampshades' "You're Gonna Miss Me" with a cup after Chloe tells her she can perform whichever song she likes.

Aubrey, skeptical about Beca, given their bad start when Beca dissed a cappella, is left speechless after Beca's audition, while Jesse watches her from backstage. Meanwhile, the Treblemakers welcome Jesse and Kolio, the new members of The Treblemakers, with Benji not making the cut because of the Trebles' opinions of him. At the "aca-initiation" party later that night, the a cappella singers bond, party, drink and flirt, with Aubrey keeping a close eye on her girls, who had just vowed to not be involved with any of the Trebles.

Later, however, Aubrey notices Kori with Donald , a Treblemaker, Mary Elise with another one, and Beca with Jesse, although they seem to only be speaking as friends then so she merely confronts Beca about it the following day, but she gets Kori and Mary Elise off the group.
