WRITE YOUR FILM OR TV TREATMENT! 


LAY DOWN THE TRACKS OF YOUR NEXT SCRIPT

Why is it that writers or their stories often hit a brick wall halfway through their script?

One of the main reasons is that they haven’t written a film or TV treatment first to lay down the tracks, therefore they are more likely than not to box themselves into a corner. The process of writing a treatment helps screenwriters lay out a solid foundation for their screenplay and save valuable time in the writing and rewriting process.

This hands-on workshop gives you the opportunity to map out your plot and develop your characters and theme before you start writing the actual script.

​WRITE YOUR FILM OR TV TREATMENT! is perfect for those who are exploring a brand new story or feel an existing script needs re-designing from the ground up.
​
By the end of this workshop, you will have a fully developed 4-page treatment and a solid logline for your screenplay.

This workshop has limited seats (up to 8 writers).

During each class, the writers receive 20 minutes of feedback from three peers and the tutor.

Before they join the course writers should have an idea for a feature film or TV pilot episode ready to be developed into a 4-page treatment.


Who should take this workshop?

  • Writers and writer-directors who would like to develop a brand new idea.
  • Writers and writer-directors who feel that their existing script would benefit from a complete re-imagining.
  • New or experienced writers who seek the support of like-minded creatives to develop their characters and stories in a workshop environment.

The course is workshop-oriented. You will be expected to read three of the students’ work per week in order to give them notes in the class. In turn, you will benefit from the feedback and support of the tutor and three of your peers that will allow you to develop your treatment in-between each session.

Course handouts on craft issues supplement the workshop.


SYLLABUS 

WEEK 1 - Ease into your story.

During the first session, you will pitch your story and write your logline. In class, we will explore:

  • Your logline to make sure the key structural components are in place.
  • The genre of your story.
  • How your film begins.
  • The climax and resolution.
  • Film vs TV & TV show bibles 

WEEK 2 – Breaking the story

In this class, you will bring the rewritten logline and a 1-page treatment you wrote following session 1. In class, we will explore how to:
  • Structure your plot.
  • Film vs TV structure
  • Heighten key narrative beats.
  • Choose visually exciting settings.
  • Play with the genre and conventions of screenwriting.

WEEK 3 – Develop your characters

Following Week 2, you turn your 1-page treatment into a 2-page treatment. During this session, you workshop your two-page treatment and look into how to:

  • Firm up the foundations of your script and identify any weak points.
  • Strengthen the mid-point.
  • Ensure your protagonist remains proactive.
  • Make sure your protagonist has an arc.

WEEK 4 – The 4-page treatment

Following Week 3, you turn your 2-page treatment into a 4-page treatment. During this session, you zero in on:

  • Subplots.
  • Set-ups and pay-offs.
  • Secondary characters, who is necessary, who isn’t.
  • Arcs of the secondary characters.

WEEK 5 – Smooth sailing from here on in.

You submit an updated 4-page treatment for the final class. Before you begin writing the script, you will be looking into:

  • How your story may have changed thematically.
  • Next steps: longer treatments, beat sheets, and step-outlines.
  • Commercial treatments vs. development treatments.
  • Expressing your voice in a treatment: tone and writing style.


By the end of the workshop, you will have:

  • A well-developed 4-page treatment ready to be turned into a feature-length or TV script.
  • A network of supportive writers.
  • Practical tools that will support the development of your script and improve your screenwriting craft and writing habits.
