Casual Articles - Screenwriting and the Hero's Journey - Antagonist's True Self
Article Marketing - What Can You Do To Get More Reads and Click Throughs I diator (2000) All Academy Award Winners Best Film are based on the Hero's Journey.I believe that it's better to write a lot of articles, getting just a tad bit less response from each article than to really labor over just a few articles just to get a little more traffic per article. I'd rather write a lot of articles and get a lot of traffic.So there's 2 things that I focus on : number 1 is keywords, every time I start, well not every time, maybe 70% of the time that I sit down to write an article I will start with a keyword in mind, and if Anti-hero stories (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) etc) are all based on the Hero's Journey.

Hero's Journey - Antagon The Hero's Journey: Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told. Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on. Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created. The Hero's Journey is also a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. It is compelling that screenwriters have a higher probability of producing quality work when they mirror the recurring patterns found in successful screenplays. Consider this: Titanic (1997) grossed over $600,000,000 uses the Hero's Journey as a template. Star Wars (1977) grossed over $460,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template. Shrek 2 (2004) grossed over $436,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template. ET (1982) grossed over $434,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template. Spiderman (2002) grossed over $432,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
