Advanced treatment

An advanced treatment is longer than a treatment and contains all of the elements of a script other than script formatting, exact dialogue, monologue or narration. It tells the story of the project as you hope to make the audience experience it, and provides a sense as to how it will, or might, flow from start to finish. An advanced documentary treatment also states or implies the style in which the project will be treated/told, specifying: interviews, reconstructions, archival footage, photographs, maps, diagrams, graphics, etc.
