Hi floop122,

Film makers will get their ideas much in the same way as authors and artists get their ideas for their craft-through inspiration. In some cases, this may be from a story in the news, a painting or even a dream-James Cameron famously stated that his idea for the Terminator came about during an illness where he spiked a fever and imagine a man walking through flames. In many cases, film script will be written following the idea for a short film or television experience and vice versa-a good example of this is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Originally a film which was not to the standard of writer Joss Whedon, he then re-wrote the script to portray the story in a television series mode which followed his vision more closely.

Hope this helps :)
