Writing The Science Fiction Film: Where do you get your ideas from?
The lazy way of coming up with science fiction film ideas is to take any an existing movie title and add ..in space! to it. Like High Noon ..in space! (Outland) or Jaws ..in space! (Alien). It’s become a tried and trusted method, but while it has led to the occasional classic - no-one is going to argue against Alien being a sci-fi classic - there are a lot more films in the mediocre pile.
So where do we find new ideas ripe for science fiction?
Well as you might expect they’re all around you, all you have to do is start looking, but it requires that you leave your SF prejudices at the door and open your eyes to the wider world of sci-fi storytelling.
This workshop looks at sources of new ideas, basic tools to gather and store them, explores exercises for taking an idea and turning it into a story and we’ll actually take an idea and break a story with the audience in the room.
Critical context research

For further research, they want to analyze how films have changed over time by watching additional films like “Mean Girls” and “Kings of Summer.” They decided to use Vladimir Propp's theory of seven character types for their analysis.
Media research
The document summarizes Harry T. Docwra's research for an essay on coming-of-age films. It discusses films analyzed - Dazed and Confused, Booksmart, and Stand By Me.

Vladimir Propp's theory of 7 character types will be used for the project. Further research plans include films like Mean Girls and The Kings of Summer to understand genre changes over time.
Theme
The document discusses universal themes in literature. It defines what a theme is - a central message or lesson revealed through a literary work. Themes can be directly stated or implied. Some common themes discussed are that human beings are products of their society, it's important to never give up, and working as a team is more powerful than working alone. The document also explains the difference between a theme, main idea, subject, and topic. Themes are implied messages about life while the subject/topic is what the work is about and the main idea encompasses both.
