Loglines, Synopses and Treatments

Your next task, now that you have a concept for your story, is to begin developing it and shaping it in to a fully fledged narrative. To do this, you are going to be generating 3 written documents: a logline, a synopsis and a treatment.

All text to be presented in the same font, size 12 is typical. You may choose to type in Courier, to match your script.

Synopsis and logline
  • Type your logline at the top of the synopsis (or post directly onto your blog).
  • Write your synopsis in Word
  • Your synopsis should be around 1 side of A4.
Treatment
  • Type your treatment in a new Word document
  • Your treatment should be around 3 sides of A4.
