How to Write Script copy for a Web Commercial

November, 18 2011

We’ve been talking about how to create successful online videos, and what factors you need to consider while making one. By now, I’m sure you have a clear picture in mind of what your video is all about. Now, the next thing you need to do is to create a 3-act script for your web commercial.

Crafting a script is one of the most challenging parts in a web commercial, because this is the part where you’ll present your message in form of a short story. And having a good script will simply guarantee huge impacts to your viewers.

There’s no need to come up with thick scripts – having a simple structure to follow is all you need to avoid confusion and to make sure that your web commercial  delivers the right message you want to communicate to your audience.

Here are the basic guidelines that you’ll have to follow in writing the script for your web commercial:

Stage 1: The Beginning

Every story always has the beginning. For your web commercial, there is a need to set the scene. Usually, this is the part where you introduce the main characters – the protagonist and the antagonist which are commonly referred to as the hero and the villain.

In web video production, you introduce your main characters this way: the business problems (antagonist), and the solution to the problem (protagonist – your brand!).

Stage 2: The Middle

The development of the story is the middle part of your script. In this stage, you wouldwant to project that you’re well-aware of the customers’ needs and wants and have already anticipated the problems they’re going to face.

Through this, you can show your viewers that you understand their business issues, which will eventually lead to earning their trust. This part of your web video production will hold the important pieces together.

Stage 3: The Ending

We are all suckers of happily-ever-after endings and the same thing also applies for web videos; you present the resolution of the problem through an ending. This part is where you tie together the fact that you’ve understood the viewer’s problem, you’ve been able to solve it using your brand, and then you expect them to act on it.

The main goal of writing a 3-act script is to keep your web commercial structured and simple without having to lose the viewer’s attention. This is also the best strategy to use if you want to leave an indelible mark to your videos.

A professional video production company will create a well-crafted script which contributes to the overall success of your video.  Remember, keep it simple!

Web Commercials Create The Ultimate First Impression!

November, 4 2011

In both life and business, some things are better left to the professionals! Case in point; having your brand enter the arena of video marketing. Sure flip cam videos or homemade amateur videos are great for bloggers to achieve that personal one-to-one image, after all they are selling themselves to their faithful followers and reader, but that’s not the way to go for a business who’s considering video as a part of their marketing strategy.

A  professional video production company will provide all the creative elements and knowledge to turn your idea into a compelling video that can be uploaded to your website. Nowadays, web commercials  are quickly emerging because they’re by far, the simplest method a business can use to let their customers, as well as, potential clients know about their brand, and why they’re worthy of the investment.

Since videos today have become increasingly popular, they’ve turned into one of the cost-effective platforms to market your products and services because they can attract a larger community. YouTube, for instance, is one of the mostly used video search engine where millions of videos are uploaded every day.

Now, the big question is why web commercials create a huge impact to your business?

You see, people prefer to watch moving images, rather than reading long amounts of text,  or stare at boring, static images. Video, on the other hand, can convey your message clearly and quickly to your target audience. What would normally take several paragraphs to describe graphics and visuals can be presented in a couple of seconds with a web commercial.

With the use of a compelling and entertaining web commercial, you can enhance your brand persona, engage your target audience, communicate your message more effectively, and tell a long story in a short span of time. But it doesn’t stop there – you can also turn a passive viewer into a potential buyer if you have a competitive video uploaded in your website.

And, let’s not forget, search engines optimization results rank video in the top spots. A well-crafted title video on YouTube can appear highly on Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. With relevant keywords, and the name of your company included in videos, you’ll definitely increase online presence.

If you’ve created a great web video production, chances are, it can be shared to different blog and websites – simply the best promotional technique to attract new customers.
