A treatment is a multi-page document that describes the story you're trying to create. It includes some action, sparse dialogue, and works as a guide for the reader, producer, and writer. One advice the author gives us is to not include too much dialogue in our treatments, only when it's vital to the scene or adds emotion to it, since your dialogue is likely to change. The second piece of advice they give is a template for a treatment, which includes writing the log-line, describing the characters, and including act 1, 2, 3 and a final scene. Lastly, he explains that there are different styles of treatments; Ones that describe an exciting scene in a movie, and one that explains the logistics of the world and characters. Either one is fine, and it all depends on what you want the readers to know about your film.
