A documentary invoice covers the work being billed, the line items and totals, and the payment due date and split.
Share template
A documentary shoot can go exactly the way real life goes, which means noisy rooms, hard sun, and moments that happen once. After the edit lands, the client still needs a documentary invoice that makes the cost feel clear and settled, not like another back-and-forth.
The invoices, payments and receipts layout puts Line items first, then spells out when payment is due, how the 25% and 75% split works, and what happens if payment misses the date. The page finishes with Thanks for trusting me to tell this story, so the last thing the client reads is human, after the numbers and terms are already in place.
In Plutio, you replace the placeholder line and price with your own, then send the invoice to a client and collect payment online if you’ve connected a method. Syne headings over Inter body text keep the page readable, with a violet-black base and a brass-olive accent that stay restrained while the terms do the work.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.

A documentary invoice usually includes the billed work as line items, the totals, and the payment due date. This one also states a 25% booking payment and the remaining 75% due when the finished work is handed over.
An invoice can state a deposit or booking payment as part of the payment terms. The payment terms in this template specify 25% paid to book the work and 75% due on handover.
An invoice can include a clear late-payment consequence in the terms. The terms here say delivery gets paused and the client will be contacted if payment isn’t received by the due date shown above.
The template ships with one line item as a placeholder. You’ll replace that entry with your own lines and prices.
Clients can pay online if a payment method is connected before sending. If no method is connected, the invoice still carries the amounts due, totals, and terms.
The wording and structure fit documentary work, but the line items can price corporate video or event videography services as well. The payment terms stay the same unless you edit them to match the job.
