Films as diverse as Gladiator 2000, Million Dollar Baby 2004, Raging Bull 1980 and Scarface 1983 were all constructed around the Hero's Journey Template. The Hero's Journey takes the character through the Character Arc. There are 4 significant stages regarding the Character Arc: overcoming the refusal, the transformation path of trials, the rebirth through death and the apotheosis. Characterization differs from the Character Arc in that it develops the hero as character. There are a many standard techniques used to do this.
