Story Type : The Quest

The character is set a task to find someone or something. He accepts the challenge, searches for and finds the someone or something. He is then rewarded, or not, for his success in the quest (e.g. Star Wars, George Lucas, US, 1977).

My film fits with this story type because my protagonists are searching for a murderer. To find the murderer the protagonist (Nancy) goes undercover by going to Johnny's gang and risks putting herself in danger. Nancy has always been connected to the crime life so she never thought she would partner with the one detective who has been trying to take down the gang for years. However in this situation there was nothing else she could of done. This lets the character take a personal journey by doing some good in her life. When the protagonists find the murderer they arrest him and take him to jail. While being undercover Nancy managed to get evidence to get the other gang members arrested. Through this journey Nancy realises that the crime life isn't for her anymore so her reward is personal - being free.
