There are a few things to remember when you plan on recording a dive video. First, you need to ensure that your video is brief. You should remember that the average viewer has a three-minute attention span. You need to cut 90 seconds of footage quickly. This will ensure that your video has a greater chance of being shared and hit more times.
TikTok
Divers are a very popular water sport around the globe. It may appear like a simple activity that involves jumping off a platform or springboard, and then diving into the deep. However, it is actually a complicated sport that requires dedication and a lot of effort. These are some of the things to keep in mind while making a TikTok diving video.
GoPro
A few precautions are necessary if you plan to make a GoPro dive video. You will need a high-quality GoPro Super Suit. These suits can go down to 60 meters and can keep the camera steady as you shoot. It is also important to look for a handle for underwater use.
GoPro: Problems
GoPro cameras are small and inexpensive, making them easy to use for underwater diving. The camera's video may have issues. Some videos lack color, or are too dark. You can solve these issues by editing clips to improve the quality.
Problems with wide angle lenses
Wide-angle lenses for video diving are problematic because they don’t provide uniform lighting. If you concentrate on lighting your subject in a foreground area, you will be able achieve more consistent results. You can avoid overexposure by attaching a strobe to a longarm. This will direct the light directly to your subject. Be sure to take many test shots before deciding on the best direction to light your subject. As necessary, adjust the power of your strobe and aperture/shutter speed.
Editing underwater video
A critical step in sharing your underwater experience is editing. It is vital that you keep the video short, because your audience has a finite attention span. You only have around three minutes to capture their attention so make sure you keep it short. This is done by choosing the best clips from your footage and keeping them in a consistent order. To make your video more interesting, you can add text or transitions to the clips.
