PLANNING: TOPLINE & BIG QUESTION

 

Write a treatment for your film opening. This would usually contain.

  • A title that is engaging and dynamic 
  • The top line- an 'elegant sentence' that sums up an action
  • The big question- what is the enigma that will unfold? Is there a cliffhanger? if so what.
  • The synopsis- A few paragraphs explaining the plot
  • Characters- with an introduction about them

    Next step: complete this with your own decisions about the title, top line, big question, synopsis.
