Whilst writing the treatments, I had a bit of a problem. I was making things too hard for myself by going into too much detail. I was also not spacing them out enough.
To get around this, as well as spacing them out in order to give the reader an easier read, I actually didn't find it too hard to cut them down. Where I was including every single minor detail, so it would read like a script, I summarised things a lot more.
Also included in a few treatments are some essential lines of dialogue, that I felt needed to be put across, but there aren't too many.
In the end, I feel my treatments tell a good story, and are presented in a way that is interesting and easy to read. There are times when I believe I may have gone into slightly too much detail, but I have summarised as best I could. One of my main issues whilst writing these was getting around having too much detail. As I say, some points are probably too detailed, however, the only reason behind this is because there was no other way to get around saying what I wanted to in order for the story to progress.
Being a crime/thriller drama series, there are many small things that happen, sometimes a lot happens in just one scene, thus I found it hard to summarise it into just one or two 5 line paragraphs. I do however, believe that these have come out to the best of my ability, and I am happy and proud with the story I have come up with, as well as how they are written.
