Write a film treatment.
How to write
A treatment is a two-page document that should read like a short story and be written in the present tense.
What is included in a treatment?
- A working title
- A short logline (A one sentence summary of your script.)
- Introduction of key characters
- Who, what, when, where and why
- Act 1 in 1-3 paragraphs. Set the scene, dramatize the main conflicts.
- Act 2 in 2-6 paragraphs. Should dramatize how the conflicts introduced in Act 1 lead to a crisis.
- Act 3 in 1-3 paragraphs. Dramatize the final conflict and resolution.
Here are three questions to ask yourself as you write the logline.
- Who is the main character? What does he or she want?
- Who or what is standing in the way of the main character?
- What makes this story unique?
Use action words when writing your logline and utilize descriptive words to create an image that will stay in the mind of the reader.
