An outline is when the key points of a story is listed, and it helps you keep track of the story you're trying to write. It doesn't necessarily have to have every event listed, but it has the main story arc and character arc. In television, it can also be referred to as a "beat sheet", which breaks down scenes into its "major beats", or significant moments. A synopsis is an extension to your log-line, and is usually 3-4 sentences (one paragraph). It is supposed to capture the core idea of your script. Lastly, a treatment is a short story version of your script. While an outline is mostly bullet points and brief explanations, a treatment is written out in story format.
