Underwater Filmmaking
What Is Underwater Filming?
Underwater filmmakers document the behaviors of various ocean animals, often as a way to obtain more knowledge about these creatures or to create public awareness.
The cameras that professionals use to film are extremely heavy so it takes lots of practice when getting use to them
Underwater film makers travel all over the work like Antarctica
It's very important to capture animals in their natural habitat and not to mess them up so lighting has to be very precise
Why Its Important?
Underwater filming allows people to see new species of animal life underwater and it shows undiscovered parts of water that could contain historical shipwrecks.
For an ocean colors change when you go deeper so it's nice to experiment
Different people film different things like sharks
Equipment
