treatment pointers

  • a treatment just tells the story - and/or the angle on the story.
  • it does not "assess" or "judge" - so no need to say things like "this is a great film" or "such and such actor did a great job."  those are assessements, judgments.  You just synopsize the film: the plot or the angle/style/idea.
  • You also don't have to say "directed by so and so" or "released in 2010" - just identify the film.
  • Remember:  snappy opening sentence and powerful closing sentence AND GOOD TITLE
