Original Draft Treatment
The original draft treatment is created during the writing process, and is generally long and detailed. It consists of full-scene outlines put together. Usually there are between thirty to eighty standard letter size/A4 pages (Courier New 12 point), with an average of about forty pages. For example, The Terminator original treatment is forty-four pages. More elaborate forms of the draft treatment are the step outline and the scriptment.
