I have never completed a film on my own, I try but can’t, lose interest way to fast when trying to be creative.  But when you have an I dea build and build and build forever until your ready to make it make sense.  Take the Idea you have had in your head and cut in down to a simple easy to explain story line.  Then write it get you idea on paper before you decide to change your mind.  Another thing that helps is working in groups, working in groups keeps crazy ideas to a minimun, its like you were trying to pitch a crazy impossible movie to Universal.  What would they do?  Most likely throw you out of the studio.  But if you came to a simple possible and interesting idea then maybe the’ll give you the GREENLIGHT. After you have your simple idea develop a script, get it perfect then your done.  You have a movie.  Wait … You want a movie not a script right … Oh … ughhh… o…kay…fine…Then you start planning, picking people who will help you, act, crew, people for critiscism, start schedeuling, pick places to shoot and then  after this your ready for production.  This whole process is called preproduction, I divide filmmaking in to three different arts.  Preproduction the art of managing and getting a full Idea(on paper).  This is preproduction.
