Google “film script treatment”
In my research about film script treatment, I discovered this website.
http://www.bmyers.com/public/807.cfm
It is an Automatic Movie Script Treatment Generator, though I have to say I find it woefully lacking in choices and concepts.
Here’s what I generated.
Comedy: A college student teams up with a hair dresser to start a new life.
As the story unfolds, the college student starts to discover the truth about with a pet pig.
By the finale, they manage to wreck 1 cars, prove their worth and win the respect of their classmates.
Think Dumb & Dumber meets Forest Gump.
Not quite what I was going for. Comedy… yes… well, the generated log line is comical, but I think that movie would suck.
Not sure if Bill Myers, the person who created the generator, did it to mock the narrow vision of what a Hollywood blockbuster contains, or if he really thinks that there are only 50 or so types of “sidekicks”.
Still, it’s kind of fun to use it, so I felt it was post-worthy.
Enjoy!
PS: Nobody steal my idea… I’m really attached to my main character discovering the truth about her pet pig…
PPS: Just want to add that this site generates more of a log-line than a treatment.
