My plan for shooting wrecks is to get a very wide shot, as far as visibility and light will allow and pan from front to back and back to front. Next, I like to do a complete swim over, front to back or back to front. Next, I like to go to the bottom and look up at the bow and/or stern, these always seem like interesting shots. Next, I try to find interesting features and reef life. And you have about 20 to 25 minutes to get as much of this as you can.
Finally, it's time to edit and I review my shots and look for shots that I think others will find interesting, too. Some of the planned footage is usable, some not. Also, I try to get the backstory on every wreck to tell a story. Here is my Key West Joe's Tug video:

And the underwater sets from two James Bond movies in Nassau

Hopefully, you have a good buddy who says they will trail along with you or help you find interesting shots. I've always found two sets of eyes are better than one. I get my buddy's email address and reward them with the video location so they can enjoy it and share it with their friends. They seem to appreciate having a visual reminder of the dive, too.
