Outline, Synopsis, or Treatment?

In your own words, explain the differences between an outline, synopsis and a treatment.

Story outlines are general guidelines of the plot for the story. This does not have to be thought out or detailed because it is simply a collection of notes to help remember an idea. An outline of a storyline can be altered to a great extent by the end of the pre-production phase. If writing an outline for a TV series, it would be effective if the audience is presented with significant moments also known as "beats." A synopsis, on the other hand, is a description of the story summarized in one paragraph. This paragraph should be able to concisely summarize the plot, characters, and the overall idea of the film. A treatment is distinctly different from a synopsis in that they are much longer and more in detail. Often times, the treatment can range from 2 to 30 pages worth of writing. Because the treatment should feel like a shorter version of the script, the writing should be in present tense.
