Morphology

refilm = film (transparent) = re + film

This is a straightforward case of 're-' meaning 'again' added to 'film', yielding the sense 'film again'.

Etymology

Refilm breaks into re- and film, where re- means 'again' and film means 'a movie or recorded scene'. So to refilm is to 'film again', usually to replace or improve parts of a scene.
