French term
Traitement
I was wondering if there was a specific English term for "traitement" when referring to a film adaptation. This is a contract between a producer and a screenwriter for the French adaptation of an English-language film.
Any ideas? TIA

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"The story plan, treatment and a three act structure are what make up the story structure of a film script."
and
"In Hollywood terms, a treatment is another word for outline. An outline is a roadmap of what is going to happen in the story.
Here are some things to consider when writing the treatment:
A detailed character profile written in first point of view. This is an excellent way to get to know the main and supporting characters and to develop their unique personalities.
A detailed synopsis that entails story direction, plot building and character arc. The synopsis can be as long as needed.
A screenwriter could also write a scene-by-scene plot outline, listing all the main points of what will happen throughout the story.
