Sora Prompt to Create an Advertising Script
Sora, OpenAI's video generation model, revolutionizes ad content creation by allowing you to visualize concepts even before shooting. But before generating a video, you need a solid script — and that's where prompt engineering comes in. By crafting a precise prompt to create an advertising script with Sora, you can obtain a complete narrative structure including visual descriptions of each shot, transitions, on-screen text, and voiceover directions. The challenge is to guide the model to think like a creative director: in terms of visual sequences, rhythm, and emotion. A good prompt must specify the product or service, the target, the desired tone, the spot duration, and the expected output format. Whether you are preparing a social media ad, a TV spot, or a product launch video, mastering these prompts allows you to go from idea to storyboard in minutes while maintaining professional creative consistency tailored to your brand.

You are an advertising creative director with 15 years of experience in producing video spots. Create a complete advertising script for [PRODUCT/SERVICE] targeted at [DEMOGRAPHIC TARGET]. The spot lasts [DURATION: 15s/30s/60s] and will be broadcast on [PLATFORM: Instagram Reels / YouTube / TV]. The tone is [TONE: inspiring / humorous / premium / urgency]. Structure the script as follows: 1) HOOK (first 3 seconds to grab attention), 2) PROBLEM (show the customer's pain point), 3) SOLUTION (present the product in action), 4) SOCIAL PROOF (testimonial or quantified result), 5) CTA (clear call to action). For each section, describe precisely: the visual shot (framing, camera movement, setting), on-screen text, voiceover word for word, music/sound atmosphere, and duration in seconds. Add production notes for Sora including visual style, color palette, and transitions between shots.

Why this prompt works
This prompt leverages the AIDA narrative framework (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) adapted to the advertising format, forcing a proven copywriting structure. By asking for precise visual descriptions per shot, you get a script directly usable as a production brief for Sora. The segmentation into sections with technical parameters (duration, framing, sound) eliminates ambiguity and produces a professional deliverable rather than generic text.

Expected Output
You will obtain a complete and structured advertising script, shot by shot, with detailed visual descriptions, voiceover texts written word for word, music and sound design indications, and precise timecodes for each sequence. The document will be directly usable as a creative brief to generate video sequences in Sora or to brief a production team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Sora really generate a complete video ad from a script?
Sora can generate individual video clips from precise text descriptions, but it doesn't yet produce a fully edited commercial from start to finish. The best approach is to use your script to generate each shot separately in Sora, then assemble the clips in editing software. That's why the script should describe each shot independently with detailed visual cues — each description becomes an individual Sora prompt.
What ad length works best with Sora?
For now, Sora generates clips lasting a few seconds up to around twenty seconds. Short formats (15 to 30 seconds) are therefore the most suitable because they require fewer shots to assemble. 6-second ads (YouTube bumper ads) and 15-second ads (Stories/Reels) are particularly effective: few cuts, a focused message, and visual sequences that Sora can generate with good consistency. For longer spots, plan to break your script into shots of 3 to 5 seconds maximum.
How do you adapt the prompt based on the industry (e-commerce, SaaS, restaurants, etc.)?
The key is to replace the placeholders with elements specific to your sector. For e-commerce, emphasize close-up product shots, unboxing, and visual testimonials. For SaaS, favor stylized screencasts, data animations, and before/after scenarios. For restaurants, focus on slow-motion food shots with warm lighting. Always add the visual vocabulary specific to your industry in your prompt and reference existing ads from your sector as style inspiration.
