A treatment is a piece of writing that explains in depth the story line of the motion picture or animation and is used to sell the idea to the film company. Descriptions of each scene help the screenwriters to pitch the idea to the film companies. The treatment is in depth and is told like a story. There are two types of treatments, the first been the original draft treatment which is created during the writing period and then the other is a presentation treatment created for presentation material. Both types of treatments have certain conventions to follow such as:
- Written in present tense.
- Courier font is used- if any other font is used it will not be read as it is not acceptable or professional.
- Treatment is always written in size 12 text.
- Generally 40 pages long for a feature length film.
The next post will be of our treatment that will follow all of these conventions.
