Joseph Campbell’s concept was that the best stories were in fact the same story; the story of a hero’s journey to a new environment where the hero is faced by a series of challenges.

The challenges are different in every story, but the format and is always the same.

Famously the format was used for the “Star Wars” movies. Campbell’s therories give a basic structure to work which but the action then has to be moulded to acts and scenes which assist the audience’s comprehension of the action and the personalities of the people involved inthe action.
