Short-Form Commercial Scriptwriting That Converts
Learn how to structure clear, visual-first commercial scripts in English and Persian that earn viewer attention, prove credibility through imagery, and lead to one unmistakable action.
Most small-business commercials fail on paper long before a camera rolls. They open with slow company introductions, cram five unrelated services into one voiceover, and force founders to recite stiff brochure prose that nobody says out loud in real conversation. In this course, we build two-column audio-visual scripts from initial concept to shooting draft: isolating one real customer problem per film, pairing spoken lines with visual proof instead of over-explaining, shaping natural spoken cadence in English and Persian, and closing with one clear next step.

Course Learning Pillars
Core Capabilities Developed in This Course
Every learner starts from a different background. These are the core capabilities this course develops, paced to your goals across the sessions we plan together.
Visual-First Two-Column AV Scripting
Write in standard two-column audio-visual format where specific actions, demonstrations, and detail shots carry half the meaning.
Natural Spoken Cadence vs Brochure Prose
Test every line aloud for breath rhythm in Canadian English and idiomatic Persian, cutting hollow corporate adjectives before shoot day.
Credible Proof & One Clear Call to Action
Back claims with concrete visual evidence and close with one frictionless step instead of asking viewers to call, follow, share, and browse at once.
Course Syllabus
Core Concepts & Topics Covered
Below are the main concepts and topics covered in this course. In your Free Online Intro Session, we align the exact depth and number of sessions to your experience and goals.
Topic 01
Audience Diagnosis, Single-Offer Discipline & Opening Angles
Understanding why unfocused scripts lose viewers early, and how to define one audience hesitation, one core offer, and an earned opening angle.
- Identifying the exact hesitation, costly mistake, or question your buyer already has
- Enforcing the one-script, one-problem, one-outcome rule across client briefs
- Writing earned opening lines paired with immediate visual context instead of bait
Topic 02
Two-Column Audio-Visual Architecture: Showing Instead of Telling
Structuring professional AV scripts where picture and sound work in counterpoint so the speaker never has to describe what the camera can show.
- Formatting industry-standard Visual / Audio columns for commercial shoots
- Translating abstract service promises into tangible process shots and demonstrations
- Planning concise on-screen text anchors so silent mobile viewers grasp the core premise
Topic 03
Spoken Rhythm, Breath Testing & Bilingual Adaptation
Shaping dialogue that sounds like a knowledgeable human speaking to one person across the table in English, Persian, or bilingual campaigns.
- Running the read-aloud breath check to strip tongue-twisters and passive phrasing
- Writing idiomatic Persian and natural English concepts instead of literal word-for-word translations
- Breaking lines by thought groups for comfortable teleprompter or conversational delivery
Topic 04
Call-to-Action Structure, Angle Variations & Shoot Readiness
Closing scripts with clarity, writing modular opening variations for campaign testing, and organizing approved scripts into an orderly shooting plan.
- Matching call-to-action friction to cold prospects vs warm local followers
- Drafting three distinct opening angles onto one core script body for ad testing
- Grouping approved scripts by framing, wardrobe, and location for calm studio or on-site production

Program FAQ
Common Questions
Can we develop scripts for my own business or client projects in English, Persian, or both during this course?
Yes. You are encouraged to bring real offers, services, or past scripts from your business or agency work. Starting from your Free Online Intro Session, we align the course depth and session count to your goals and language needs so you build repeatable scriptwriting skill on real bilingual or single-language briefs.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?
There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
