188 Stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) - No Mans Land, Middle Cave

FORWARD

Kal Bishop's 188 phase Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the templet upon which the huge bulk of successful narratives and Film Industry blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the 100s of Film Industry movies we have got deconstructed (see uniform resource locator below) are based on this 188+ phase template. Understanding this templet is a precedence for narrative or screenwriters. This is the templet you must get the hang if you are to win in the craft.

[The nomenclature is most often metaphorical and uses to all successful narratives and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hallway (1977) to Godhead of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

OUTLIERS

In statistics, outliers are the exceptions. These are the relative incidences that happen outside the normal scope of results.

Many people cannot acquire their caput around the thought that every narrative they have got seen, read or been exposed to is essentially a reworking of the same base.

They rebel against it. They cannot see it. They don't like having the magic fast one explained to them. They don't like the thought that their front-runner stories, albeit structurally, are not completely "original." They miss the benefit of experience and they have got not sat through 100s of successful narratives and deconstructed them scene-by-scene and sequence-by-sequence. They have got not attained the epiphany.

You must not be one of these people. Not if you desire to be commercially successfully.

Often, these people mention to outliers (the exceptions) in order to warrant their theory that not all narratives conform to the same base.

a) There are, in reality, very few outliers.

b) Many people are bad analysts (with A mediocre apprehension of the Hero's Journey and Transformation) and incorrectly mention to narratives (that follow the structure) as exceptions.

c) The outliers (exceptions) are nearly always less effective, poorer narratives and commercially unsuccessful (one ground you should not worry about them).

d) The additional the outliers swerve away from this structure, the poorer and less successful they be given to be (another ground you should not worry about them).

e) The exclusions are nearly always portion of an unusual genre, such as as "experimental" or "art-house." While these may have got value in their ain right, they will deviate you from authorship effectual and successful stories.

Steven Spielberg utilizes this structural template. Saint George George Lucas utilizes this structural template. Francis John Ford Francis Ford Coppola utilizes this structural template. William Shakespeare used this structural template. All your front-runner writers, managers and manufacturers utilize this structural template. You should utilize this structural template.

In summary, make not worry about the outliers. Maestro this construction first.
