How to Make a Video of Diving

There are a few things to remember when you plan on recording a dive video. Your video should be short. Remember that most viewers only have a 3-minute attention span. This means you must edit 90 seconds worth of great footage quickly. This will increase your chances of sharing and getting more hits.

TikTok

Divers enjoy a wide variety of water sports around the world, including diving. Although it may seem like an easy activity, where you jump off a platform or springboard and then plunge into the water, diving is complex and requires dedication and commitment. When making a TikTok video about diving, there are some things that you need to remember.

GoPro

Before you dive, there are a few things you should know. A quality GoPro Super Suit is a must. These suits can go down to 60 meters and can keep the camera steady as you shoot. 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. The video quality of the camera can sometimes be poor. Some videos are too dark or lack color. These issues can be fixed by editing clips to increase 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. To achieve consistent results, try focusing on lighting your subject from the front. A strobe attached with a long arm may be used to direct light and avoid overexposure. Take several test shots before you find the best direction to light your subject. You can adjust the power and shutter speed of your strobe as needed.

Editing underwater video

An important step is to edit your underwater video before sharing it with the world. You must keep your video brief because people have limited attention spans. The average attention span of your audience is three minutes. You should keep the footage short and manageable. You can do this by selecting the best clips and keeping them in a logical arrangement. The video can be made more engaging by adding text or transitions.
