template for a TV commercial script?

just wondering if anyone had access to a TV commercial script that worked
well? you know, for 30 and 60 second tv spots.

Doesn't anyone know how to do their own work anymore? Asking for a template for a TV commercial script is like asking, "Does anyone know how Budweiser writes their award winning commercials?"

Go to a PR class or an advertising class to get some background and then realize, there IS NO TEMPLATE for a successful commercial.

Look on any commercial web site such as ABC, NBC, CNN and others. There usually
is a 30 second spot. At least it will give you some ideas. ESPN would be
another.

I'd almost be willing to bet there's no template for an unsuccessful one
either. ;-)

I think what ruell chappell wants is not a template for good (or bad) TV commercial scripts, but one for the document itself, like there are some for letters, CVs, etc.

I found this page that maybe can help you:



Following that sample and using a word processor, like MS Word, you can create a table starting with two columns and two rows and write Video in the left column and Audio in the right column, both in the first row.

Then you can add as many rows as you need for the entire script.

If you need or want, put a header before the table, for identifying purposes (client, product, etc.)

Save it as a template for your word processor, so you can call it from the File > New menu whenever you need.

BTW, that's the template I myself use every day.

Ha, yes, I believe what ruell wants is the document, not the "secret to successful advertising".

If he'd come in looking for the formula for a TV commercial, then you'd be free to mock.

I found this site to be helpful on the document front
