Project Selection- My Decision

I am still unsure of the type of project I would like to do. My group has multiple ideas, both film and magazine, that we have not decided on yet. I am personally hoping for a magazine, as I feel that this project would fit my skill sets. Our magazine idea is for an environmental magazine. I think this project would work since my initial teammate and I are both passionate about the environment, as we are both in environmental club, and we live in an area that we would have many resources available to us to gather information about environmental preservation efforts. This idea is still up for debate since we now have two extra members in our group, one of which is indifferent to which type of project we do and the other is not only very adamant on doing a film, but also is only interested in doing one genre of film that I feel would not work for the format of this project.

I have decided to go ahead with doing an environmental magazine. My main partner has been repeatedly absent so I have not had a chance to consult with them about a final decision, however I can no longer prolong giving a decision. I will discuss this decision with them next time I am able and hopefully they will agree with my decision. If they don't we will more than likely have to part ways on this project.

I am now back to being no longer certain of what project I will do. One of my group members has convinced me that her film idea would work, however I don't know if a film project is really the best for my skills, and I also have other concerns about my group members teamwork skills. I feel annoyed that it is taking so long to form a decision, although I know it's really up to me what I do. I'm stuck between doing what I know best or venturing outside of my comfort zone into something that I might have more fun doing. A magazine would be easier to put into the project format that I know how to perform, but my team member really wants to do their idea for a film. I do have one main concern that I don't want to mention to my teammate, which is that I fear that they will be too controlling of the project if we do a film. My team member is very much a leader and loves being in a leader position, and that's not a bad thing, however in this project format every teammate is meant to have equal input into the final product, and a fear that any ideas that I or any other teammate have that this member disagrees with will be disregarded. I will move forward for now as if I will be doing the film project, however in speaking with my teacher he has assured me that if I feel that the film project won't work for me, I can switch over, however I fear that once I'm in it I won't want to get out even if I see signs that I should. In the end, although a film project is out of my comfort zone, I think it could be enjoyable.
