Great creative discussion! Some excellent ideas there. In my opinion, the ideal type of character to be abducted by aliens would be someone who has taken part in abducting others. For example, someone who's job it is to kidnap people from foreign lands in order to put them into slavery. The character could learn the error of his ways through his personal experience of being abducted, creating a meaningful character ark. Having the story set a couple of centuries ago would also be a unique angle for an alien film.
Thank you so much for watching. Great idea. I also like the idea of an alien abduction in the past. One of the ways into this specific story was to find a unique character to be deal with this specific crisis. We see lots of modern versions. But something set in the distant past would also be very fertile ground to tell an Alien Abduction story!
@@writing-chops Thanks. One problem I see with a film like that is the expense. Not only would the film need to include expensive special effects for the alien ship, planet, aliens etc, but by making it a period piece it would require the landscape, costume, architecture, transportation etc to be dated, adding even more to the budget.
