Radio and TV
Let’s format Copy 
Every document should have the 
following for letterhead: 
• Client’s name 
• Copywriter 
• Length
Radio script 
formatting 
Every station is different. Here are some 
general rules: 
1.Write on one side of the page only. 
2.Write all spoken copy in upper and 
lowercase. 
3.One spot/commercial per page.
Radio script 
formatting 
MORE CAPS IN RADIO AND TV THAN 
YOU THINK 
1.Write instructions for sound effects and 
music ALL IN CAPS, and underline. 
2.Write talent instructions-(WHISPER) in 
parentheses and capitalize. 
3.Write speakers’ names ALL IN CAPS.
Other formatting tips 
• Spell things out in a way the 
announcer can understand. 
•Think dash not dot. 
9 a.m. is bad. 
9 A-M is better.
Other formatting tips 
• Spell things out in a way the 
announcer can understand. 
Things may cost $9.95. 
They should read 9-dollars-95 
cents. 
It’s less than 10 bucks…
Other formatting tips 
• Spell things out in a way the 
announcer can understand. 
Don’t write www.facebook.com 
Do write Facebook-dot-com. 
W-w-w-why-are-we-saying w-w-w-
Speaking of numbers 
four rules 
• Write out numbers as figures… 
• 50 cents, 
• 12 o-clock, 
• 5-thousand. 
• Spell out all fractions. One-half 
• Write out decimal points. 8-point-8 percent. 
• Round numbers. $79,995 should be under 80- 
thousand dollars. 
• DASHES-NOT DOTS.
Other formatting tips 
Don’t use commas. They are hard to 
spot. 
Use ellipses instead. 
•Ice, snow, bad roads all are signs of 
winter. 
•Ice…snow…and bad roads are all 
signs of winter.
Other formatting tips 
Watch punctuation. 
Readers don’t see the punctuation until 
it’s too late. 
Your copy must create excitement, or you 
must tell the voiceover talent to get 
excited.
ROADMAP TO 
BROADCAST WRITING
Organizing broadcast 
commercial 
• AIDA Formula 
•Attention 
•Interest 
•Desire 
•Action
Timing isn’t precise. 
Here are some ground rules. 
A=3-4 seconds 
I=20-30% 
D=20-30% 
A=20% max
AIDA Model 
Attention 
• Grab it with 3-4 seconds. 
• Here are ways to hook the audience. 
• Words, sound effects or music in radio. 
• With TV, you can add compelling images. 
• This is tell them what you’re going to tell 
them.
Aida model 
Interest 
• Interest grows from the lead; stick with the main idea. 
• Explain the product benefit 
• Explain how it relates to consumer needs. 
• Explain the selling points that produce the benefits. 
• Think context with content 
• Use the word “You.” 
• Intro the sales goal and name and location of the sponsor 
who can make this happen. That location can be physical, 
online or social. 
• This is 20-30% of the ad.
Aida model 
desire 
• Make people want to act on their terms in their 
environment. 
• Desire starts with benefits, which we explain in 
the interest section. 
• You need to know what the customer wants and 
connect the dots. 
• If my coffee audience wants Starbucks coffee 
and spends all day on their cell phone, and 
online app to buy coffee makes a lot of sense.
Aida model 
action 
• This should be 20% of your spot max. 
• Create a discernible and easy action step. 
• Be specific. 
• Be immediate. 
• Be direct. 
•Purchase 
• Like the facebook page 
•Download the app….
One important aida 
thought 
• Most local commercials focus 
on the action step. 
• Most national commercials 
focus on the desire factor.
How to use aida 
• Write three sentences on each. 
• This is your rough draft. 
• Condense your copy into the 
time format.
Creative questions to 
ask 
• Do you want one voice, two 
voices or multiple voices? 
• More voices=faster pacing. 
• Do we need sound effects? 
• How does music help tell our 
story? 
• Audiojungle…
Types of ads 
• Straight Copy 
• Hard Sell Copy 
• Institutional Copy 
• Spokesperson Copy 
• Humorous Copy
TYPES OF ADS 
STRAIGHT COPY 
• These are a backbone 
• Often one-voice. Often can two voices. 
• Simple and conversational. 
• I think it’s the vanilla ice cream of copy. 
We all like vanilla ice cream. Rarely is it 
someone’s favorite flavor. 
• http://www.soundandvisionmedia.com/au 
dio.html Track 2
Types of ads 
hard sell 
• Price reductions. 
• Urgency (Sale ends Sunday, going out of business 
Tuesday) 
• Sound effects feature explosions, dramatic music and 
echo effects. Bells, whistles, lasers. 
• Punch sentences. 
• Slogans. 
• Usually the company likes to voice their own spot…think 
car ads. 
• http://www.soundandvisionmedia.com/audio.html Track 4
Types of ads 
institutional copy 
• Aim is to keep the client’s good 
name out in the public eye. 
• This is about perception. Why does 
AEP advertise? 
• It’s a soft sell. 
• http://www.babble-on-recording.com/samples/ 
New Orleans
Types of ads 
spokesperson copy 
• Ego Trip 
• Endorsement 
• Testimonial 
• http://www.youtube.com/w 
atch?v=eqK0HYEcKTg
Types of ads 
humorous 
• Be careful and ask the following 
questions. 
•Can listener identify with the humor? 
•Does the humor sell? 
• Will the humor stand up to repeated airing?
Let’s add tv to the 
mix
broadcast copy 
We write for three reasons. 
• Inform: Try us 
• Persuade: Move to us 
• Remind: Brand loyalty, there is 
value to staying with us. 
• TV (especially national ads) are 
often about reminding folks just 
how good you are.
The storyboard 
• Every second of a TV spot is planned 
with video, audio and graphics. 
• A storyboard gives you a shot by shot 
rundown. 
• This needs to be blocked out. 
• Each board is 3-5 seconds.
Here’s what storyboard 
looks like
Building a storyboard 
1. Identify the distinctive features you want to get across: 
logo, emotion, product shot. 
2. Determine what benefit comes from the brand’s 
distinctive feature: 
3. Decide what setting will convey 1 and 2 . 
4. Place video instructions and audio lines for each scene 
under the frame. Include shot choices (wide, tight, ultra 
close-up.
9 Broadcast writing 
nuances 
• Know your budget. 
•On location shoots are better but more 
expensive. 
•Production studio 
• Have one main idea. 
• Hit them early. 
• 30 second tv ad….5 ad second YouTube
9 Broadcast writing 
nuances 
• Make your ad DVR proof through product 
placement. 
• Literal 
•Value 
• Logo 
• 5 percentage…. 
• Audio repetition is also important. 
• 33/33/33
9 Broadcast writing 
nuances 
• Audio and video both need to tell the 
whole story. 
• You don’t need to overwrite. 
• What you see is what I should say… 
• If I see a hammer…somehow make 
mention of the hammer. 
• Stress the establishing shot 
• Stress the final shot.
Shot composition 
Wide 
Medium 
Tight 
Really tight

Fall 2014 3700 ad copy radio tv

  • 2. Let’s format Copy Every document should have the following for letterhead: • Client’s name • Copywriter • Length
  • 3. Radio script formatting Every station is different. Here are some general rules: 1.Write on one side of the page only. 2.Write all spoken copy in upper and lowercase. 3.One spot/commercial per page.
  • 4. Radio script formatting MORE CAPS IN RADIO AND TV THAN YOU THINK 1.Write instructions for sound effects and music ALL IN CAPS, and underline. 2.Write talent instructions-(WHISPER) in parentheses and capitalize. 3.Write speakers’ names ALL IN CAPS.
  • 5. Other formatting tips • Spell things out in a way the announcer can understand. •Think dash not dot. 9 a.m. is bad. 9 A-M is better.
  • 6. Other formatting tips • Spell things out in a way the announcer can understand. Things may cost $9.95. They should read 9-dollars-95 cents. It’s less than 10 bucks…
  • 7. Other formatting tips • Spell things out in a way the announcer can understand. Don’t write www.facebook.com Do write Facebook-dot-com. W-w-w-why-are-we-saying w-w-w-
  • 8. Speaking of numbers four rules • Write out numbers as figures… • 50 cents, • 12 o-clock, • 5-thousand. • Spell out all fractions. One-half • Write out decimal points. 8-point-8 percent. • Round numbers. $79,995 should be under 80- thousand dollars. • DASHES-NOT DOTS.
  • 9. Other formatting tips Don’t use commas. They are hard to spot. Use ellipses instead. •Ice, snow, bad roads all are signs of winter. •Ice…snow…and bad roads are all signs of winter.
  • 10. Other formatting tips Watch punctuation. Readers don’t see the punctuation until it’s too late. Your copy must create excitement, or you must tell the voiceover talent to get excited.
  • 12. Organizing broadcast commercial • AIDA Formula •Attention •Interest •Desire •Action
  • 13. Timing isn’t precise. Here are some ground rules. A=3-4 seconds I=20-30% D=20-30% A=20% max
  • 14. AIDA Model Attention • Grab it with 3-4 seconds. • Here are ways to hook the audience. • Words, sound effects or music in radio. • With TV, you can add compelling images. • This is tell them what you’re going to tell them.
  • 15. Aida model Interest • Interest grows from the lead; stick with the main idea. • Explain the product benefit • Explain how it relates to consumer needs. • Explain the selling points that produce the benefits. • Think context with content • Use the word “You.” • Intro the sales goal and name and location of the sponsor who can make this happen. That location can be physical, online or social. • This is 20-30% of the ad.
  • 16. Aida model desire • Make people want to act on their terms in their environment. • Desire starts with benefits, which we explain in the interest section. • You need to know what the customer wants and connect the dots. • If my coffee audience wants Starbucks coffee and spends all day on their cell phone, and online app to buy coffee makes a lot of sense.
  • 17. Aida model action • This should be 20% of your spot max. • Create a discernible and easy action step. • Be specific. • Be immediate. • Be direct. •Purchase • Like the facebook page •Download the app….
  • 18. One important aida thought • Most local commercials focus on the action step. • Most national commercials focus on the desire factor.
  • 19. How to use aida • Write three sentences on each. • This is your rough draft. • Condense your copy into the time format.
  • 20. Creative questions to ask • Do you want one voice, two voices or multiple voices? • More voices=faster pacing. • Do we need sound effects? • How does music help tell our story? • Audiojungle…
  • 21. Types of ads • Straight Copy • Hard Sell Copy • Institutional Copy • Spokesperson Copy • Humorous Copy
  • 22. TYPES OF ADS STRAIGHT COPY • These are a backbone • Often one-voice. Often can two voices. • Simple and conversational. • I think it’s the vanilla ice cream of copy. We all like vanilla ice cream. Rarely is it someone’s favorite flavor. • http://www.soundandvisionmedia.com/au dio.html Track 2
  • 23. Types of ads hard sell • Price reductions. • Urgency (Sale ends Sunday, going out of business Tuesday) • Sound effects feature explosions, dramatic music and echo effects. Bells, whistles, lasers. • Punch sentences. • Slogans. • Usually the company likes to voice their own spot…think car ads. • http://www.soundandvisionmedia.com/audio.html Track 4
  • 24. Types of ads institutional copy • Aim is to keep the client’s good name out in the public eye. • This is about perception. Why does AEP advertise? • It’s a soft sell. • http://www.babble-on-recording.com/samples/ New Orleans
  • 25. Types of ads spokesperson copy • Ego Trip • Endorsement • Testimonial • http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=eqK0HYEcKTg
  • 26. Types of ads humorous • Be careful and ask the following questions. •Can listener identify with the humor? •Does the humor sell? • Will the humor stand up to repeated airing?
  • 27. Let’s add tv to the mix
  • 28. broadcast copy We write for three reasons. • Inform: Try us • Persuade: Move to us • Remind: Brand loyalty, there is value to staying with us. • TV (especially national ads) are often about reminding folks just how good you are.
  • 29. The storyboard • Every second of a TV spot is planned with video, audio and graphics. • A storyboard gives you a shot by shot rundown. • This needs to be blocked out. • Each board is 3-5 seconds.
  • 31. Building a storyboard 1. Identify the distinctive features you want to get across: logo, emotion, product shot. 2. Determine what benefit comes from the brand’s distinctive feature: 3. Decide what setting will convey 1 and 2 . 4. Place video instructions and audio lines for each scene under the frame. Include shot choices (wide, tight, ultra close-up.
  • 32. 9 Broadcast writing nuances • Know your budget. •On location shoots are better but more expensive. •Production studio • Have one main idea. • Hit them early. • 30 second tv ad….5 ad second YouTube
  • 33. 9 Broadcast writing nuances • Make your ad DVR proof through product placement. • Literal •Value • Logo • 5 percentage…. • Audio repetition is also important. • 33/33/33
  • 34. 9 Broadcast writing nuances • Audio and video both need to tell the whole story. • You don’t need to overwrite. • What you see is what I should say… • If I see a hammer…somehow make mention of the hammer. • Stress the establishing shot • Stress the final shot.
  • 35. Shot composition Wide Medium Tight Really tight
