There are a few things to remember when you plan on recording a dive video. You must ensure that your video is short. Keep in mind that the average person can only focus on a video for three minutes. You need to cut 90 seconds of footage quickly. This way, your video will have a higher chance of getting more hits and shares.
TikTok
Diving is a popular water sport all over the world. Though it seems like a simple activity where one simply jumps off a springboard or platform and then dives into the deep, it is a complex sport that requires a lot of commitment and dedication to the sport. There are a few things you should keep in mind when making a TikTok video of diving.
GoPro
Before you dive, there are a few things you should know. A quality GoPro Super Suit is a must. These suits can be used to stabilize the camera as you take photos. They can also go down to 60 metres. Also, look out for a handle specifically designed for underwater use such as a Telescopic.
Problems with GoPro
The GoPro camera is an affordable, small, and easy-to-use device that many people have used to record their underwater dives. Unfortunately, some issues with the video of the GoPro camera can occur. Some videos have no color or are too dull. These problems can be solved by editing clips to enhance the quality.
Problems with wide angle lenses
Wide-angle lenses don't offer uniform lighting, which is one of the biggest problems for video of divers. Instead, focus on lighting the subject in the foreground to achieve consistent results. An attached strobe to a longer arm can help you avoid overexposure while still directing light to your subject. Take several test shots before you find the best direction to light your subject. Adjust the power of the strobe and aperture/shutter speed as necessary.
Editing underwater video
A critical step in sharing your underwater experience is editing. Because your viewers have a finite attention span, it is essential that the video be short. The average person has three minutes to grab your attention. Therefore, it is important that the footage be kept short. To do this, select the best clips from the footage, and keep them in a logical sequence. The video can be made more engaging by adding text or transitions.
