No matter how great they may be as friends, inspirations or talents, they can't help with the project if you-all can't get together. Owning the Camcorder, arguing forcefully or demanding to play the lead role does not create leadership. You learn many things from new people, in turn triggering your own contributions. Commitment to project must take precedence, especially as you get close to taping. With failure to fulfill promises, duties and responsibilities, the group confronts the offender, demanding cooperation or withdrawal.
Teacher supports the consensus.
Make final choices by general consensus. Sequential steps are taken from initial concept to written script, story-board, shooting script and editing. No spontaneous or unilateral changes without dialogue and consensus. After a progress meeting, one person summarizes ideas and writes report, the rest read, amend and sign. In some groups the same person writes, others rotate.
