You'll want to put some thought as to the scope of your story. How many aliens are arriving? Stories have revolved around entire armies (''Film/BattleLosAngeles'') and sole survivors (''Film/{{ET}}''). Additionally, there's the question of how ''much'' of the invasion you're going to depict. The ''[[Film/RedDawn1984 Red]] [[Film/RedDawn2012 Dawn]]'' films may involve a large-scale invasion of American soil by foreign powers, but mostly focus on one cell of TheResistance, with little news about the rest of the country getting in or out.

Does your story take place mostly in the light of the day or by night? Day lets you show the danger clearly and is better in more idealistic and optimistic tales. On the other hand, night underscores danger, uncertainity and isolation, thus giving you more narrative tension. Then again, as DaylightHorror page proves, you can make readers bite their nails even when sun is shining bright.

One of the oldest subgenres of science fiction is the alien invasion. Monsters from another planet come to Earth to eat our brains/mine our planet/terraform and colonize the Earth. If you're looking to write an alien invasion story, keep reading.

Make sure that the aliens invade for logical reasons. One of the recurring criticism’s of ''{{Film/Signs}}'' is that the aliens are allergic to water, and yet [[WhatAnIdiot they invade a planet mostly covered in water with high amounts of precipitation]] while ''[[EpicFail walking around completely unarmed]]''. Also, try to ensure that your characters are likable. The latter two adaptations of ''Body Snatchers'' make the characters so unlikable that you may cheer for the pod people to win.

As [[Film/TheWizardOfOz someone once said]], it's always best to start at the beginning. H.G. Wells' ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' is the founding work of the genre. Its two main film adaptations, ''Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' (1953) and ''Film/WarOfTheWorlds'' (2005), both explore different aspects of the invasion, the former focusing on the broad global invasion and the latter on a single family's struggle to survive.
