IDEAs can come from anywhere around you. Everything you witness, experiences you hear, stories/articles you read, TV you watch.
Remember to focus on the IDEA not the scene or film. So not just the scenes you have seen in films.
Find and feel what is right as a story. Make sure you believe in the story.
Ask about who/what/when/where/why and how?
Can you dramatise it in a series of scenes? Is it dramatic enough?
Look for the unpredictable, flip the obvious ending.
Theme - what is you your story REALLY about?
Characters - who are these people, traits, what they would do in a certain situation? Give them a background/history
Goal - wants and needs. What will happen when they achieve their goal?
Problem - what is the problem the protagonist have and how will they overcome it?
Change - what is the change at the end of the story. AVOID "better person" could be something they have learned.
By the end you will know the ending of the film.
Structure
Take an idea and form it into a story with begin, middle, end
Start mapping out the film.
Write in each character's point of view as if they were there in the point of time.
Write it in a way where what is going to happen to the character in the end. Create a believeable world.
