If you are planning to record a diving video, there are several things you must keep in mind. You must ensure that your video is short. Remember that viewers only have three minutes to watch a video. This means you must edit 90 seconds worth of great footage quickly. This will give your video a better chance of receiving more views and sharing.

TikTok

Diving is a popular water sport all over the world. While it might seem simple, one jumps off a springboard/platform and then dives in the deep. It is a complex activity that requires dedication to the sport. You should be aware of these things when you are making a TikTok footage of diving.

GoPro

There are some things to remember before you begin recording your GoPro video of diving. For one thing, you'll want to use a quality GoPro Super Suit. These suits can be used to stabilize the camera as you take photos. They can also go down to 60 metres. A handle designed for underwater use like a telescopic should be considered.


Problems with GoPro

GoPro cameras are small and inexpensive, making them easy to use for underwater diving. The video quality of the camera can sometimes be poor. Some videos lack color or appear too dull. You can solve these issues by editing clips to improve the quality.

Problems with wide-angle lens

Wide-angle lenses are not ideal for video of diving 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. A strobe attached to a long arm can also help to avoid overexposure and direct 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

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. You only have around three minutes to capture their attention so make sure you keep it short. Select the most important clips and arrange them in a logical order. To make the video more compelling, you can also add text or transitions between clips.
