One of the skills that you must have to be able to write a powerful story is the understanding of how to weave the major elements of your story -- the Plot, Character Arc, and the Theme -- together in an inextricable web.
If you don't do this, you don't yet have a story. If you DO accomplish this, you have laid the groundwork for a very strong foundation for your script.
Out of literally thousands of scripts that I have critiqued, this is the number one most fundamental and common mistake screenwriters make: They don't know how the theme, plot, and character arc are supposed to be linked together in a way that the link cannot be broken.
Mostly what I have seen over and over is that the story has one or two of the three, but they are not even tightly woven together.Having seen this so many times, years ago, I began to focus on explaining this on practically every script critique I did after that.
When I was earning my Ph.D. in Mythological Studies, I studied the idea of "story" inside out, from stories all over the world. I learned Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. I studied depth psychology. And meanwhile, I coached a lot of people and got really direct experience with understanding the stories people tell and what is a good one and what is another boring story.
I took all of these ideas an boiled it down to its barest foundation and created the Fundamental Story Blueprint. Every writer must know how the Fundamental Story Blueprint works if he or she ever wants to write a complete story. There is no way around it. You must know this principle inside out and upside down.
