Over the years, we’ve seen first-hand that video isn't just about pretty pictures—it is a brilliant, practical tool for solving everyday challenges. Before we ever press "record," we like to sit down with you and figure out exactly what you need to achieve.
Are you asking yourself any of these questions?
Do you need to boost student enrolment numbers?
Do you want to increase engagement within your local community?
Do you need a clear way to share a new leadership message?
Do you want to make your website more engaging for visitors?
Do you want to reduce anxiety for nervous students joining your school?
If you answered "yes" to any of those, we have designed the perfect, stress-free video packages to help. Let’s break down exactly how we can support your school and what it costs.
Our Tailored Video Packages for Schools
The All-in-One 3-Minute Promotional Film
If you want to tackle student numbers, community engagement, and transition anxiety all at once, this is the ultimate solution. A beautifully crafted 3-minute promotional film gives prospective parents and students total confidence. It shows them exactly why they should be excited to join you, showcases your facilities, and highlights what sets you apart from other local settings.
As a lovely bonus, adding rich video content to your website gives your organic SEO a massive boost, helping your school reach much further online.
Investment: From £1699 + VAT
The Staff Recruitment & Subject Intro Package
If staff retention or teacher recruitment is a challenge, it’s time to show off your school's culture. This package helps potential applicants understand your ethos and get excited about a future with you. It’s also fantastic for creating short subject introductions for options evenings!
What you get: Up to 6 short films (between 30 and 60 seconds each) featuring teacher bios, subject intros, or recruitment messages.
Investment: From £1099 + VAT
The Parent & Student Video Testimonial Package
Nothing inspires trust quite like hearing from happy families. Seeing real parents and students talk about how amazing their experience has been—and how your school has set them up for a successful future—is the absolute key to growing your community.
What you get: 5 punchy testimonial films (between 30 and 60 seconds each).
Investment: From £1099 + VAT
How We Work: Behind the Scenes with Offset Films
We want your shoot to be entirely stress-free, which is why we’ve built a highly efficient process that requires just a half-day or a single full day of filming on-site.
A Professional 2-Person Crew
For all our school projects, we always operate with a dedicated 2-person crew: a camera operator and a professional sound engineer. This ensures that every single interview is captured with pristine, crystal-clear audio. (If you’re ever curious about standard industry crew costs, you can check out the recommended BECTU ratecards here).
Even better, our sound engineers are also fully trained camera operators. When it’s time to capture "B-roll" (the lovely cutaway shots of classroom life), they grab a second camera. This means you get two different angles and a much wider variety of cinematic shots in half the time!
No Hidden Rental Fees
Because we own all of our cinema-grade equipment outright, we don’t have to pass expensive hire costs onto you. Many production companies have to rent cameras, lights, and lenses—which can add an extra £150 to £400 per day to your bill. With us, the gear is included.
Dedicated Post-Production
Once the filming wraps, the magic happens in the edit suite. Between editing, colour grading, audio mastering, and adding polished graphics, we typically spend 2 to 3 days perfecting each project to make sure your school looks its absolute best.
Keep Your Content Fresh: Our Video Refresh Package
Schools change—teachers move on, and exciting new facilities get built. We don’t want your promotional video to go out of date just because of a few small changes!
To protect your investment and give your film maximum longevity, we offer a Film Refresh Package for £899 + VAT. We will come back to campus for a half-day to shoot new interviews or updated B-roll, and seamlessly swap those elements into your existing film. It’s the perfect way to make your budget stretch further.

We’ve made the entire process simple, transparent, and completely structured around your busy school calendar.
