For car scene 1, we had used a Sony camcorder rather than the camera we had been using. The scenes we filmed was a negotiation with me and Kaya Maki. Where I would passover the 'hit list' that would gain her the Yakuza's approval. After using this camcorder, transferring it to the iMac was a problem as the files was not accessible on the OS systems of Apple. The scenes were not in the same quality when put with the other footage we had from previous filming sessions.  This would mean that we would have to re-shoot the scene. Here is one of the vlog scenes recorded by Celina.

Before doing car scene 2, Celina had taken photos of the enemies that Kaya Maki would have to eliminate. She had printed them A4 and this would make the negotiation more realistic and would give the audience of who exactly she needs to eliminate. This would be better than just giving an empty envelope. 

We were all there in attendance to film this car scene and have the camera we normally use, Nikon D3300. Instead of filming in just two perspectives, we experimented on filming in different angles. When filming Chandler and Celina took turns in the perspective shots of me and Kaya Maki. The focused on filming the envelope, as it had most importance in this scene and would be effective to have it handed to the main protagonist. We also included a walking scene before my scene, to show that she was having a meeting in a discreet location and that no one was following her. The quality of footage was much better than the Sony camcorder, and we would learn that most devices will not work with certain operating systems. Below is the footage in the editing room, putting it together with the bar scene.
