Filmmaking is an arduous collaborative process, requiring large numbers of people to come together synchronously to create the final product. In modern times the media has made cinema seen as a glamorous profession, and lay people often see directors and actors as people who earn a lot of money, in a very simple way. This couldn't be further from the truth; In fact, the creation of a single scene, which will last from a few seconds to a few minutes on screen, can require from 12 hours to several days of hard work by a large team of individuals. Each of these individuals, from the head producer down to the last of the extras are equally important to the success of each scene, and ultimately of the final feature film (Grossman 271-285. 15p). In the history of American cinema, there has been conflict among film studies scholars in determining the effect of different leadership roles on film making. Most film schools' focus on the director's role as the film's master craftsman sometimes leads to overlooking directional conflicts among film students, who are often individually evaluated on the film they were tasked with creating as a group. These students usually succeed only when they can fit into a group, where all the personalities match well, and each member of the group values ​​his role and takes harmonious responsibility to give his best even if his job is to keep the microphone while shooting. This is not always the case since people have many personalities, sometimes strong members of the group do not recognize their individual roles as worthy and try to impose themselves on others, in others to forcefully assert their own individual voice... in middle of paper... ..expert collaboration To prevent the collapse of a production due to meeting strong personalities, there is much more: the improvement of a director's ability to work cohesively with diverse and rich characters and to incorporate a broad group of artistic visions that lead to the creation of a more compelling artistic creation .Works Cited1.
