A commercial tries to convince the viewer that they want to get or do something. It usually is 30 to 60 seconds long, though some commercials are longer.

Your commercial should have:

A Product

The product is the thing you are trying to sell. It will usually be an object (like a toy or a clothing line) or a destination (like Disneyland or they gym). Most commercials include an image of the product, usually in use.

A Problem

You have to give a reason why someone should purchase your product. The problem can be a serious  (“I need to get to school on time”) or  humorous (“How can I make a hat out of dirty socks?”).

A Solution

Explain why your product solves the problem.
