Here are the components of a good treatment:
1. Start with an opening that hooks the reader.
2. Introduce the reader to your protagonist and make sure that we care about this person.
3. Show us what the main conflict of the story is and what type of story we're reading (drama, suspense, action, comedy, etc.)
4. Give us the story line (spine) and structure of the story. This section should include the major scenes of the movie and the turning points (act breaks).
5. End with a knockout ending that makes us want to shout "YES!"
