The document provides guidance on developing a story for a production project by writing a concept statement, story outline, and treatment. A concept statement establishes the characters, locations, and situation. A story outline breaks the story into sections including a thesis on setup, antithesis on arising conflict, and synthesis on resolving the conflict. A treatment is a 1-several page snapshot revealing the story structure, introducing characters and hooks to pitch the project.
