Hi Everyone,
I'm applying for Columbia's screenwriting/Director's program and working on getting my one-page treatment down to actually one page. Does anyone know if we have to include a logline for Columbia's application? I'm not sure how true a treatment they want. The prompt says this:
Feature film treatment: On one double-spaced page for a film you might wish to write, or direct. The treatment must concisely relate a complete dramatic story sufficient to sustain a feature-length film, including all major plot developments and a clear statement of the resolution. The story should not be the same as the one in your dramatic writing sample or your optional video submission.
Also, Columbia wants our Autobiographical essay and film scenario to be in size 12 courier, but do they also want our treatment and other creative materials in the same font? That font is huge! It's already a challenge doing a single page, feature length treatment, but adding a logline and title in that font is beyond challenging. I did email them, but I don't expect a quick response.
Also, It seems that NYU wants more of a concept for a feature while Columbia wants something more flushed out and concrete. Is it a bad idea to use the same treatment for both schools or should I alter my idea to fit NYU?
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
