The Treatment

The treatment is a very important document and is essential for any project, whether for new media, drama, documentary or corporate production. It gives an over all shape to the production and outlines the way in which the producer feels the project should be approached. From breaking down the treatment you can work out roughly what will be required in terms of money, manpower and resources and deduce where the major costs will be.
