Film Treatment

Film treatment research

A film treatment is a two to five page document that tells the whole story of the film, focusing on the highlights. The things that are usually included in treatments are: a title, the writers names, a short synopsis of the film, introduction to key characters, 'who, what, where, why, and when', act 1 in a few paragraphs to set the scene and introduce the main conflicts, act 2 in a few more paragraphs to show how the conflicts introduced in act 1 have lead to a crisis, and act 3 in three or less paragraphs to show the final conflict and resolution. The audience for film treatments are film studios, and people like producers, who you would want to see your idea and to perhaps commission your idea into a film.
