Develop The Protagonist
The Protagonist is the character who is for the story goal.
In the story there's going to be a proponent that we need to go after this and and we need to make sure to keep our eyes on the ball.
The protagonist is the character whose problem is what drives the story and the events of the story for the entire of the film. The protagonist's decision impact everybody else in the story. Their livelihood, their history, will explain why they are at the center of this particular story, why them and not someone else.
Protagonist is the one who changes the most over the course of the story.
Protagonists don't necessarily have to be the good guy.
Protagonist can be likeable or despicable, they can be evil or passive. They can be anything. But whatever they are, let's say you have negative main character, you want to tell a story about someone who really is a despicable human being. Your responsibility as a writer is to surround them with some good people, and probably, if you want us to like this person, you need few people that are more despicable.
The protagonist doesn't need to be the main character in the story, they can be and often are two completely separate characters. It all depends on what perspective you would like the audience as they're watching your story.
Generally, if the protagonist is the main character, than the audience is more removed from the story. If you're sitting on the sidelines watching the drama unfold in a bit more an objective viewpoint. but, by creating the main character that is separate from the protagonist, two separate characters, than the audience becomes that main character, seeing the story unfold through his or her eyes. This objective view can bring the audience in closer to the story.
Since protagonist is the player in the big picture, and the main character is the subjective character that is a perspective, very often people like to marry the two into what people think was a hero but they do not need to. In fact, very frequently, the main character is not the protagonist.
If better if we experience the story through the main character. If the main character is too passive, we will drift over to some of the more to active characters in the screenplay and probably enter the story through them which undermines their position as the main character.
From individual perspective "I am there" perspective, as opposed to looking from "the God's eyes" point of view. Both which have different views and can see different things and combining both ideas will give you the idea how the real world is working together.
Your decision that your story from the protagonist's perspective or from the main character's perspective is basically depending on the genre of the story, and from whose point of view the story would best be told.
