It could be that the file is still on the flash memory card.

You should avoid using your iPhone. Don't write any new files on the phone. Don't make new pictures or videos.

Connect you iPhone to a laptop and then use a data recovery tool to scan the iPhone's memory card.

If you're lucky, the tool will find the video file and you'll be able to recover it.

Also, it may appear that the recovered video won't play. This is because data recovery tools can't build video files structure properly.

If this is the case, you will need to use a video repair tool. It will restore the header and indices of the recovered file, so you can actually play it. Here you can find a more detailed guide on how recover video from a memory card.
