A Treatment is a critical development document primarily utilised in the world of feature films. Unlike TV and online series projects that rely on Bibles and episode summaries, feature films employ Treatments to articulate their story in terms of style and unfolding narrative. Typically spanning 10 to 20 pages, a Treatment expands upon the One-Page Synopsis and Outline, offering a detailed yet persuasive account of the narrative. Its primary purpose is to convince readers of the value of the story while providing a glimpse of the audience's experience. Treatments are written in the present tense, emphasising what viewers can see and hear, avoiding extensive context or subtext, and focusing on summarising the viewing experience.
