Note:
I would like to choose the film Zootopia to analyse
story arc analyse:
You: Judy has been working hard in the town to become a police officer in Zootopia and has finally graduated at the top of her class to become a police officer and is looking forward to a new life working in Zootopia.
Need: Judy is eager to get a real case instead of being a traffic cop upon arriving in Zootopia . This is when Ms. Otterton comes to the police station to report a case and shows Judy a turnaround. Chief Bogo gives Judy 48 hours to get to the bottom of the case.
Go: Judy locks in Nick’s connection to the incident with limited clues. Judy and Nick as partner set out on a quest to find the truth.
Search: Nick and Judy succeed in finding the missing carnivore. But the stereotypes expressed by Judy at the press conference hurt Nick as well as the other carnivores.
Find: During Judy’s time of reflection back in the countryside, she discovers that the reason carnivores become brutal is because they are injected with a serum rather than being so by nature. Realising her mistake, Judy finds Nick and apologises to him and hopes the two will work together to find the real killer.
Take: In the process of getting the evidence and playing the villain, Judy’s leg is injured and Nick is almost hit by the serum and becomes violent and then hurts Judy.
Return: Eventually Judy and Nick replaced the serum with blueberries and recorded the villain’s confession. They successfully solve the case
Change: Zootopia is back to its usual calm. Everyone put aside their prejudice against foxes, which allowed Nick to succeed as Judy’s partner in becoming the first fox officer in Zootopia.
Character Archetypes Breakdown:
Judy: HERO. Judy as the main character, I think she is a heroic figure, full of justice as a police officer who never forgets to keep the citizens safe.
Nick: Allies, Judy’s partner.
Assistant Mayor Bellwether : Shadow, the villain who plans the conspiracy.
Main Character Timeline Before Film Start
Judy: dreams of becoming a police officer in Zootopia and keeps working towards it.
Nick: lost his chance to junior Ranger Scout because of the stereotypes people have of him (foxes are cunning). Now he does different small businesses to support himself.
Sheep: Promoted to assistant mayor because the lion mayor needed the herbivore vote. She has resentment in her heart for always being bossed around by the Lion Mayor.
