Need Experienced Advice On A Night Shoot

[iConquer]

Hi Everyone,

I need some pointers on this one.
I am planning to shoot a short film that will take place in a taxi in the middle of the night. I don't know how to tackle on some of the issues I'm already thinking about so hoping someone who might have been in the same situation before may be able to give me some pointers.

I will be shooting with two 7D's.
The Driver in the front, Passenger in the back.

With it being in a car in the night, what can I do to ensure good lighting? Power outlets? type of lights to use?

Stabilizing. How can I tackle the bumps and bounce of the car?

Low lighting. Which lens would you guys suggest I should use since the lighting will be so low?

Audio. I have a Zoom 1, Rode Mic, a lav mic, and a boom mic. Which would be the best way to ensure that all the audio levels are not too different between scenes?

thanks for the input!

any lens of f1.4 will be of great value here since its in a taxi i dont think that much movement is goin to happen so u should b able to keep focus. i'd light for f2.8 iso 640 and if you NEED to go to f1.4 you have that option. Get some portable LED lights to rig different places in the car.
