A synposis is usually a one-pager, and is a "leave-behind" after a pitch meeting (some people say if they ask you for a "leave-behind" your pitch has failed). A treatment is somewhat longer, usually in the low double digits. James Cameron's treatment for "Spider-man" was SEVENTY pages and he didn't get the gig.

Treatments generally run longer and, more importantly, are designed as working documents. Writers write treatments as part of the process of writing the screenplay. You write the treatment on the way to writing a finished screenplay. As a rule, you don't wri

A synopsis generally runs 2-3 double-spaced pages. Some people who don't know any better will call this a greatment. A one-pager is usually single-spaced.
