How do you guys get ideas?

Hello Everyone

How do you guys get ideas for your screenplay?

Do you research a topic you're interested in?

Do you make a story based on an experience that has happened in your life?

Do you watch the news, follow up on what is happening worldwide, and look for captivating reports that you think are good for a movie's story?

George Lucas (Star Wars) once said: "Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard."

I know we won't find it hard to learn how to format a screenplay and the fundamentals behind screenwriting. And for those that have, I know it wasn't difficult learning.

But I know getting ideas for a story that you're going to write a screenplay for is quite the task. To me, this is the most important part of screenwriting, the story you will tell through the screenplay. So how do guys do it?

Otherwise, happy writing!
