Video: The Hero’s Journey (The 12-Step Story Arc)

This YouTube video introduces the twelve steps of the Hero’s Journey:

The 12-Step Story Arc

The Hero’s Journey is a structured story arc, and common template, used by storytellers, from authors of ancient mythology through to Hollywood screenwriters. If you think of tales of heroes, be that Odysseus or Luke Skywalker, Perseus or Katniss Everdeen, you can see the underlying similarities. A 17-step structure was proposed by Joseph Campbell in The Hero With a Thousand Faces (1949) and this was refined into a 12-step process by Christopher Vogler in The Writers Journey (2007). This video covers the full twelve steps of the hero’s journey with some examples from well-known stories, taken from books and movies.
