ShotKraft is AI-powered shot list software that helps film students create professional shot lists from their screenplays in minutes. Whether you are working on a class assignment, a short film, or your thesis production, the AI handles the structural work so you can focus on the creative decisions that make your film worth watching. Film students who sign up with a .edu email address receive for free the first month of ShotKraft Pro, with 50 percent off for their first year.

 

What Film Students Get with ShotKraft

​

The ShotKraft free Pro plan for a month gives you everything you need to build a professional shot list for any student production. AI shot list generation covers up to three feature-length scripts. Every field your instructor will expect to see is included: scene number, shot number, description, framing, angle, camera movement, lens, estimated duration, and notes. Standard field inputs are preset for speed. Custom inputs let you add anything your specific production or class assignment requires.

​

Past the first free month, you can continue at 50% off for the year. You get unlimited scenes with up to 3 script uploads, which means no restrictions during thesis season or when multiple production projects overlap. Pro also includes priority technical support, which matters when you are up against a submission deadline and something is not working. The collaboration tools let your director of photography, your AD, and your faculty advisor review and comment on the shot list in real time, in the same document, without emailing PDF versions back and forth.

 

How to Claim Your Student Discount

​

Sign up at shotkraft.com using your .edu email address. Your new free account will automatically have Pro privileges for a month. If your school does not issue .edu email addresses, sign up with your personal email, fill out the student verification form on this page, and attach proof of current enrollment. We process verification requests within three business days and apply the discount to your account as soon as it is confirmed. No credit card is required.

​

If you decide to extend your Pro membership after the first free month, you can claim 50 percent discount by sending a quick email to support@shotkraft.com to ask for a discount code. If you had opened your account with an .edu email, no additional information is required. After your first year, you will be notified before your subscription renews at the standard Pro rate. There are no surprise charges and no long-term contracts.

 

The School Challenge — Get ShotKraft Free for Your Entire School

​

If you share ShotKraft with your classmates and your school reaches 25 sign-ups, every student at your school gets ShotKraft Pro completely free for a full year. That is a $240 value per student. The leaderboard updates daily so you can track your school's progress. Share this page through your class group chat, your school's film society, or any channel where your classmates are already talking about production.

​

We built the school challenge because film school is a collaborative environment. Shot listing is taught, discussed, and practiced together. When an entire class is working in the same tool, the feedback loops are faster, the peer review is more specific, and the work gets better. That is the outcome we are after, not just the sign-up count.

​

Some film schools do not issue .edu email addresses to their students. We know this is common and we have a manual verification process for it. Sign up with your personal email, fill out the verification form, and attach any official enrollment documentation. Your discount will be applied within three business days.

 

What Film Students Say About ShotKraft

​

The most consistent piece of feedback we receive from film students is that shot listing stopped feeling like an obstacle and started feeling like part of the creative process. The administrative part, building the structure and filling in the standard fields, is handled by the AI. What remains is the work of making decisions about your film: which shots tell your story, what camera movements support your character's arc, where the scene needs to breathe and where it needs to push forward. That is the work film school is actually training you to do.
