"Telling the story of your story"
The video/film "Treatment"
The video/film "Treatment"
Think of a treatment similar to a movie summary that you might read before deciding to see it or rent it. Reading the movie info will often help you decide if you are likely to enjoy it. You will likely want to know what the movie is about, the genre (sci-fiction, romance, action...) and probably who is in the movie. Think of it as a written movie trailer meant to grab your interest and encourage you to watch (ie. pay for) the film.
An effective treatment is the first planning step in getting an idea "approved" for production. Every great idea benefits from the input and feedback from others. An effective treatment provides information that allows others to help develop the idea to ensure it is relevant to the "target audience."
Below is a presentation that will walk you through the treatment writing phase of pre-production. The assignment and rubric are also included.
