What Shoot Plan gives you

Shoot Plan gives you a practical filming plan for one shoot: the essential shots, useful extras, a good order for the day and clear instructions for each shot. You film it yourself. It's a practical filming plan, not storyboards, editing or post-production.

The free Shoot Check

A few quick questions about the size of your shoot. You'll see which plan fits and what it costs. It's free, and you don't need an account.

Your plan is the smallest one that fits all six numbers. If any one is over, you need the next plan up. Extras are the things you tick under “Anything the plan should allow for?”, like an interview or filming after dark. The free Shoot Check works it out for you.

Bigger shoots can't be bought online yet. Email support@theamateur.co.uk to tell us what you need.
