Film Treatment


In this post I will be talking about film treatments and our film treatment.

I am now going to be creating a film treatment, before typing this up I first needed to research what it entails, how it is laid out on a page, the conventions and the format.

Firstly I checked out the layout of most film treatments and I found some images of treatments which helped show how a treatment should look but i also found a website which contains treatments from existing movies like 'Terminator' these treatments were much longer than the one I was going to produce as they are all for feature length films rather than shorts. Here are some of the pictures of the treatments and the URL for existing treatments.

























The next part that was looked at was the conventions of a film treatment. Jordan created a spider diagram to show some of them.



Next is our own film treatment that jordan wrote, for our short film, Fate, Love, Destiny





Also, here is an audio recording of our film treatment





Finally here are some conventions underlined with our own film treatment explained




In the next post I will be talking about scripts and our film script.
