How to write a Proposal and Treatment:
Scripts are often not used in documentary films because you cannot predict what will happen when the camera is rolling. In place
of a script, filmmakers use treatments, proposals, or even outlines to describe and help plan a documentary project. There is a lot
of overlap between these concepts and different filmmakers use them in similar and often interchange ways.

Logline:
My logline or script will be similar to Terminator 2: Judgment Day T-800 vs T-1000 scene, I like it because it’s a cool scene and I
like gun fights also how the terminator has bullet proof body which gives him a full advantage while in fighting.
Screenplay Three Act Structure:
The three act structure is a narrative model that divides stories into three parts – Act One, Act Two, and Act Three, or rather, a
beginning, middle, and end. Screenwriter, Syd Field, made thid ancient storying tool unique for screenwriters in 1978 with the
publishing of his book, Screenplay.

Characters
When you first meet a character in a screenplay, a brief description tells the reader how they should picture that person in their
mind.
What are they wearing?
Where are they going?
How do they carry themselves?
And what’s happening in the scene?
Film and television are visual mediums, but they always start on a blank screenplay page. Writers have to imagine who these
characters are, and then actors and directors help those people come to life.
There are funny descriptions, sad ones, and even action-packed, amazing descriptions. But the best versions of this get the point
across, without being too elaborate.

Film Treatment
What is film treatment?: Film Treatment is a multi-page document written in prose, that tells the story that happens in your
screenplay. It is a synopsis, with action, sparse dialogue, and works as a roadmap for the reader, producer, and writer.
This is an example of film treatment, this one is from Spider-Man by
James Cameron as you can see, film treatment tells every one the story
in their screenplay. This helps them because film treatment are used
primarily as a way to communicate before the screenplay is written,
rarely someone would write the full screenplay and then follow up with
a treatment summarizing everything.
Target Audience
When a director makes a film and someone watches that particular film, that audience knows what film is interested in because
film directors know how to attract audience and what they like to see for example, the most popular film genre of all time is
adventure and more films are being made of that particular genre because of a huge popularity among audience, they know this
