Synopsis and Treament Examples?

[Garza]

Does anyone know any websites where I could get examples of synopsis' and treatments? They would help alot. Thanks.

Alas Absolute Write's many screenwriting articles (http://www.absolutewrite.com/screenwriting/articles.htm) don't specifically include outline & treatment. Tho' there's lots there you might find interesting, if you haven't already looked.

Done Deal Pro (http://www.donedealpro.com) has a sample, see the EXAMPLES links in the FREE section. Pretty basic but may give you ideas.

There's a treatment (http://www.scriptsecrets.net/corner/script.htm) example on Bill Martell's site.

Sorry, I'm all out.

www.scriptcrawler.com had the treatment for Mr & Mrs. Smith a while back. I don't know if it's still up there.

Not for the faint of heart, but as always, educational.

screentalk.biz also has some good examples.

I figured dredging up this old thread is probably better than starting a new one. I am too having a hell of a time finding examples of one paragraph synopses. Can anyone point me to some links? Thanks.

I can't think of anywhere that has one paragraph synopses - at least ones that are written and used by writers as opposed to coverage by a reader or some sort of marketing document from the studio. It's the sort of thing that's used very informally, if at all. An agent might summarise the script when sending it out, but again, it's all very informal and not something that carries a lot of weight. As always, it's about the script.
