8. Art 222 :: Digital Multimedia :: Week 6 :: B In-class Presentation :: Assignment – Part 1  Personal Film Treatment due at our next class  Write up a brief “treatment” of your idea and post it onto your class web page.  What is a treatment?  Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_treatmenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_treatment  My answer: it depends on the project and the filmmaker. In our case our treatments must describe the story, or concept, of our time-based project. It can be purely text written in a story/paragraph format, it can be a series of sketches or storyboards, it can be a visual map with accompanying text or legend, or any combination of the above or other method that communicates the full story/concept of the project.  What is the purpose?  To write-out your idea before you begin production.  To define the scope of your project (how much time it will take to produce, duration of final product, etc.)  To establish a conceptual framework and a game plan that you can stick to over the next couple of weeks. due :: 02.21.07
