Half-Day Social Shoot
A film crew spends half a day at your business, filming your team, your premises and your work. You get six short vertical videos, edited and captioned, ready for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.
£495 for half a day on site and six edited videos
Up to four hours of filming, anywhere in Bath or Bristol, with travel included. A one-off price, with no subscription.
What we film
Your team, in their own words
Short interviews with you and your staff: why you started, what you do best, and what customers ask you most.
Your premises
The shopfront, the room, the light, and the details that make the place yours.
Your work in action
A haircut, a coffee being poured, a product being finished: the moments people come to you for.
Your customers, if they agree
Customers are filmed only when they have agreed in writing. Nobody else needs to change their day.
What you get
- Six vertical videos, each 15 to 60 seconds long, for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
- Captions on every video, because most people watch with the sound off.
- Music licensed for business use, or a version with no music so you can add a track from the platform's own business library.
- The finished files within five working days of the shoot, with one round of changes included.
- Use of the videos on your own channels and website, with no time limit.
How it works
- A 15-minute call. What you sell, who buys it, and what the videos need to do.
- A plan and a date. A one-page shot list and the consent forms arrive before the day, so nothing is a surprise.
- The shoot. Up to four hours on site with a small crew, planned around your opening hours.
- The edit. Six finished videos within five working days.
Consent and music, handled properly
Anyone who can be recognised in a video is personal data under UK law, and popular tracks on Instagram and TikTok are not licensed for business accounts. The team plans for both.
- Written release forms for everyone interviewed.
- A notice at the door on the shoot day, so customers know filming is taking place.
- Customers filmed only with their agreement.
- You see every video before it is posted, and any clip is removed on request.
- Music that is cleared for business use, never a trending sound that a business account cannot use.
Who it is for
Independent businesses in Bath and Bristol that customers visit in person: cafes and restaurants, hair and beauty salons, clinics, shops, studios and gyms.
Who films it
The team is led by Howard Allson, who trained in film at Central Saint Martins and the National Film and Television School. Every video is checked the way a film frame is checked: one clear subject, lit so it reads at a glance.
Questions
Do I need a script?
No. The team brings the questions, and the interviews are conversations. The best answers are usually the second or third take.
What if my staff are nervous on camera?
Answers are short and can be filmed again. Nobody appears in a finished video without approving it.
Will you post the videos for us?
Not at present. The files come ready to post, with the captions already on them.
Can we book more than one shoot?
Yes. A shoot each season keeps the videos current with what you sell at that time of year.
