template for a TV commercial script?

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.

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 ar
some for letters, CVs, etc.

I found this page that maybe can help you:

http://www.cybercollege.com/commerc.htm

Following that sample and using a word processor, like MS Word, you ca
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 firs
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 identifyin
purposes (client, product, etc.)

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

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