It's me again. Where can I find a sample filmscript treatment? I have a couple of story ideas and I need to formulate them and send them to my contacts.

Maybe I should restructure my question: Is it possible for someone to provide me with the format for a treatment? I do not need a sample, I just want to make sure that I put the treatment together correctly.

If this is for a feature film then you'll want to break the treatment down into 3 acts. Within each act you'll describe the events that occur in each scene. Separate scenes by paragraph. For example:

"My Great Feature"
Treatment
by Joe Schmoe

ACT I

A paragraph for scene 1.

A paragraph for scene 2

...

ACT II

A paragraph for a scene.

A paragraph for a scene.

...

ACT III

A paragraph for a scene.

A paragraph for a scene.

...

That's it. The more detail you put into each scene, the easier it will be for you to write your script when it's time.
