Ordinary World and Ordinary Self
It's important to make explicit the Ordinary World. There are a number of reasons for this, such as the fact that an integral element of story is (physical or psychological) Journey. And for the Journey to play out convincingly, it helps to make explicit the start and end points - the before and after.
But implicit in Journey is Transformation. And in the same way that the Hero moves from the Ordinary to New World, so the Hero transforms from an Ordinary to New Self. For example, in Annie Hall (1977), Annie moves from shy and dependent in New York to confident and independent in Los Angeles.
Another example is the Godfather (1972): Michael transforms from naive and not wanting to get involved to cynical and deeply involved.
