Film & TV Treatment Templates w/Rules
Film & TV Treatment Template Kit — With Full Worked Examples
Two blank templates. Two complete examples. One reference guide. Everything you need to write a professional treatment without staring at an empty page and wondering what actually goes where.
You get editable templates for both a feature film and a TV series, each with a simple prompt under every section telling you exactly what belongs there: theme, story world, tone, logline, tagline, act-broken synopsis, and character arcs. The TV template includes a five-season structure that shows buyers where your show could go, covering the part that most treatment guides skip entirely.
See it done with two full worked examples using stories you already know:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for the feature film format
- Breaking Bad for the TV series format, mapped across all five seasons
Learn the structure from a story you understand and then drop your own into the blank format.
Also included is a short rules-and-reference guide covering the difference between a creative treatment and a packaging treatment, what to cut for each, and how the design and presentation of your treatment are part of the sell.
