Transformation is one of the most underrated aspects of screenwriting and storytelling.
Most writers do not realise that a story IS transformation - the hero moves from an Ordinary Self to a New Self, from an Ordinary World to a New World - it is the journey that gives the hero the capacity that he previously lacked to conquer antagonisms.
The Transformation Process involves pushing the hero on a journey and incrementally transforming him or her.
a) In The Last King of Scotland (2006), Nicholas travels from Scotland to Uganda and in Idi Amin's company, he loses his Old Self and becomes a New Self (that he doesn't like very much).
b) In Gladiator (2000), Maximus transforms from a man of the army to a gladiator.
c) In An Officer and a Gentleman (1983), Zach moves from being nobody to an officer.
The Transformation Process involves many stages inlcuding, for example, incrementally losing part of the Old Self and gaining elements of the New Self.
