Morphology

unfilmed = filmed (transparent) = un + film + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' is directly applied to 'filmed' (film + -ed), giving the straightforward meaning 'not filmed'.

Etymology

Unfilmed is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the word film, which was the thin material used to record movies and now means a movie or recording. So unfilmed means 'not made into a movie or recording'.
