    I think the mics are in the car, and the cameras are usually suspended outside the vehicle. Its a great question though.

    GEZZZZZZZZzzzzzz Why make it so hard ???

    1) go to U-Haul and rent a car dolly.

    (the type of device that toe’s a car from the front wheels only.)

    2) get a car to haul the dolly and drag the film car around.

    3) shoot the bit twice. once from the drivers side. once from the passengers side. OR from what ever side you like..

    DON’T FOR GET TO MAKE THE BACKGROUNDS THE SAME !!

    (drag the film car across the same road)

    film the two actors on the ground just waking up from being hit on the head looking around for the taxi, but there is no taxi around they just got robbed.

    Film makers usually rig a vehicle on a flat truck to simulate the motion as the action is taking place. The car is rigged with a framework to fix the cameras in place outside of the front windows, and all glass is removed. The lights are added in a way to illuminate the inside of the car, and leave no camera shadows, or light reflections.

    This is for visible camera layouts. For concealed layouts, you can rig a camera called a lipstick camera to the visors on the inside of the car. This is how ‘Taxicab Confessions is filmed. B.
