1) Fill your Idea Moat.
Create a database of ideas. Take tons of notes and research your favorite movies. Push the bounds of your creativity.

2) Collaborate.
Gone are the days of working in isolation, hacking away on a typewriter in a dark room. Different people have different ideas. Talk to them.

3) Get clarity.
Figure out what your story is about upfront. Define it as simply as possible, and you will be less likely to get lost.
Give your story purpose and direction.

4) Build story pillars.
If you have clarity and direction, you can see which elements are needed. Put the details into columns, making sure each serves the story.

Follow well-used structures until you are comfortable enough to experiment.
