Creating a treatment UPDATED

UPDATE JAN 25TH:

I've added an eg from current AS Media below. Note the clear sub-headings, use of images, prominence of working title, names + blog/YouTube info!!! Also, images are pushed in neatly with text, not set out in an acre of white space!

UPDATE FEB 1ST:

I've tweaked this further. Please note the basic design features:

• large, prominent film title
• the word 'treatment' isn't used!
• font altered + increased for sub-headings, neatly worked in with paragraphs
• names, blog + YouTube URLs prominent
• group pic/s
• images flush in with text
• no chunks of white space at the bottom of pages
• use of text boxes to add info to pictures
• brief summary followed by more detail on some topics

Here's an example of a treatment for a music video by A2 Media students from another (award-winning) centre:

Yours doesn't have to be like this, but should successfully enable anyone reading it to get the gist of what you're working on!

ASPECTS TO CONSIDER:

• WORKING TITLE: 
  
• THE GROUP: who's in it; any clear roles/specialisms/[relevant] interests? Include your blog URLs
• THE BRIEF: (create the opening 2mins of a new feature film, including titles and an original soundtrack)
  
• SYNOPSIS: in a sentence or 2, the essence of your film idea - MUST be brief!!! Start it off with a standalone sentence: ITS X MEETS Y, comparing yours to 2+ existing films
• TARGET AUDIENCE: who its aimed at + why
  
• GENRE: brief summary of key genre codes, conventions, practitioners, companies etc
• LINKS TO GENRE: (can combine with above) detail which films are influencing your work (be precise and specific)
• MISE-EN-SCENE: LOCATIONS, PROPS, COSTUMES, MAKE-UP ETC: Some detail on these, again highlighting links to industry practice (ie existing texts)
• CAST + CREW NEEDED: This is part of the reason I want these (so, yes, once completed email or pass to me on USB stick!): think about any roles, not just casting (perhaps composer, player of specific instrument/s, make-up etc), required. If your cast is sorted, great; provide images - either way, give brief profiles of the character role, using indicative images of egs from existing texts to illustrate what you're thinking of. Indicate deadlines for expressions of interest, and/or place/time for meetings (perhaps combine with other groups)
  
• CONTACT DETAILS: if you're after potential volunteer personnel they need to be able to contact you. You could as a group set up a new joint email account (simply share out the login details), which would look good if named after 1 of your companies! Use 1 of your personal emails if need be, but don't include any personal mobile nos. on this
