How to film in the rain or in water?

However, some tricks could help you shoot your clip and record yourself, even in the event of rain… or in water.
On-board cameras are the most used for filming in the rain and in water, in particular because they are highly waterproof.
The GoPro HD Hero7 or the Google Pixel 3XL are examples.
However, if you want to film in the water, during a diving trip for example, you will still need a minimum of accessories.
Indeed, you will need a plate which will be used to fix your camera, an anti-fog filter as well as a lamp dedicated to the video.
And for your film to be of high quality, some adjustments can still be made.
For it,
you will have to adjust the viewing angle, choose the resolution, adjust the brightness of the camera and finally, manage the number of images per second.
When you have configured your camera, you will now have to find the best shots for recordings in the rain or in water.
Above all, do not hesitate to play with the filters to accentuate the effects of your videos.
