also, the setting was not right. for instance they needed a big enough school, the meadow, the shops etc. they couldn't build all of them individually so they used Portland.

Where is the movie twilight being filmed?

At least some of it is filmed 20 minutes from Portland, Oregon, at Multnomah Falls. That's where the tall waterfalls with the bridge in front of it is. I think the beach scene looks a lot like Cannon Beach which is just west of Portland and there are shots of Columbia River Gorge as well. Most of it was filmmed in British Columbia
