The same archetypes repeatedly appear in all successful stories and story forms. Specific archetypes repeatedly appear at specific stages of successful stories. This is so prevalent that it is unusual when the convention is broken (when this happens, more often than not, the story is poorer). This is key to character development, subplot and backstory.

In Dances with Wolves (1990), John Dunbar is initially a US soldier fighting in the civil war. He is led to believe that Indians are foul, dirty, thieving savages. Following a series of transformations, he becomes a Sioux warrior and rebels against these ideas.

A Hero's Journey Plot is a much more specific elicitation of the Hero's Journey (and consequently cannot be applied as broadly). Hero's Journey Plots result from slight variations, for example:
If the Hero is Willing, there tend to be a greater number of obstacles and interdictions.
If the Hero is Unwilling, there tend to be a greater number of pushes or pulls forward.
Superhero stories require that the hero gains capacities at certain specific points.
Love triangles require that romantic challenges occur at specific points.
etc...
The Advanced Worksheets below are elicitations of various Hero's Journey Plots. They are pragmatic worksheets with an arrangement of incidents / sequence of events that each follow plausibly from the other. They are like chalk outlines that will allow you to extrapolate ideas into full blown stories. Each of the templates below contain between 60 and 250+ steps (or a high number of sequences each containing micro steps) - simply superimpose your situation and characters over these structures.
Start with one Advanced Worksheet and write multiple stories with it. Become intimate with your single, chosen template. Master it with alternative situations, characters and motivations. Become familiar with the root fairytale that it relates to and understand and play with the symbolism and metaphors. If you do this your understanding of the Hero's Journey, Transformation, the relationship with the root fairytales, the ability to deconstruct stories effectively etc will all drastically improve and take you to a new place.
Interpreted metaphorically, each of the templates below has multiple uses. For example: A damsel in distress in a tower is the same as i) a child caught in a fire in a building (Spideman, 2002), which is the same as ii) Marion held hostage by Nazis (Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981), which is the same as iii) a sensitive gorilla in a cage (Mighty Joe Young, 1998) etc.
The following templates use a number of Advanced Archetypes that you may not have met before - they can be found here: Complete and Advanced Archetypes.
It is the Antihero's destiny to become a Master of the New World and then to (perhaps subconsciously) destroy it (or his or her place within it). The Hero and Antihero travel a similar path for half the Journey and then diverge, resulting in the Hero synergising and the Antihero alienating.
Absolutely necessary if you are writing an Antihero story.

A very interesting template.
It is no accident that the Hero(ine) of the Teen Slasher genre is often a virgin. These stories are about the sexual rite of passage from youth to adulthood (losing virginity). The horror is a metaphor for the death of youth (Old Self) and the depravity of adulthood (New Self). We must view adulthood in the context of antiquity; in the modern world we are protected but in antiquity adulthood involved a direct confrontation with killing and death – there is depravity in that.
This genre follows the Classic 510 stage Hero's Journey path...First Threshold, Road of Trials, Bride Theft, Realisation, Final Conflict etc. There are slight differences between stories within the subgenre. All include the subgenre conventions but, for example, Scream (1996) is a straight Hero's Journey (we know who the Hero is; Bride Theft = loss of virginity), whereas Friday 13th (1980) plays more sleight-of-hand with the archetypes and stages.
Specific subgenre conventions include:
An increased number of Red Herrings.
Locked in / Claustrophobia.
The correlation between the horror / slashing and sexuality.
More...
