Story type

The Story type which fits my film according to Phil Parker's The Art and Science of Screenwriting (1999) is 'The Rites of Passage'. This is when the character reconises that she has reached the next 'age' of her life and attempts to learn what she needs to know to adapt to this new age. She tries to act as if she as already aquired the necessary knowledge and fails. She then encounters a challege which requires her to reach beuond what she has already achieved. Her success reflects her maturation into the new phase of her life.
