Morphology

reshoot = shoot (transparent) = re + shoot

This is standard prefixation meaning 'shoot again', and the intended corrective-repeat sense is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word reshoot starts with re- meaning 'again' and ends with shoot meaning 'to take a photo or film'. So, to reshoot is to film or photograph something 'again' to correct or improve the first try.
