Often a more interpreted level like a written piece the story with have a moral. Films still follow the plot elements so the beginning middle and end aspect. Storys need to be set in a time place and area, going into detailed setting so the time and what was happening when the film was made to be. Characters are what is seen within the film, characters change some are seen as static the ones that are the 'villains' mean at the start and still mean at the end. Some characters are focused on more and they are called the  protagonist and antagonist characters while some of them come in and out of the story.
