Comparison of the BFI statements (this batch) with the Screen Australia ranges recorded in S53 (outline 3-10 FAQ / 4-12 guide, treatment 10-20, scriptment 20-50, mini-bible 5-15). BFI gives only a treatment figure: up to 10 pages (7-10 in delivery clauses) for a first-stage feature treatment, which sits at or below the low end of Screen Australia's 10-20. BFI gives no outline, scriptment or series-bible figures in the text read. Only one further agency (BFI, two pages) was obtained; Screen Ireland, Screen Scotland, Telefilm/CMF, Creative Europe, BBC Writersroom, WGGB and WGA are not covered.
