The filming remains steady while a bunch of peers, all fairly young judging by the footwear and legs, appear from the outer courtyard wearing bedsheets.
The camera begins to zoom before the main action begins, as if scripted.
The final shot after the moment of panic is of the collider itself, is that plausible considering the location of the filming? Should be easy to check.

And what is the spiritual purpose of sacrifice? The Indian Sub-continent section is intriguing.

As always, Wikipedia is a starting point, not an arbiter of all that is right and true. I just needed somewhere to start thinking about your intriguing question.

I have to admit I agree with this. I don't think the guy taking the video knew what he was going to be recording. But I believe he was told there would be something worth recording at x place and y time.
If I wanted to create a fake video with as much realism as possible, then keeping the person recording the video ignorant of the shocking nature of what they will be recording will, in the absence of a decent actor, give me the most realistic, natural response. That response is what gives me a shot of adrenaline.

Hypothesis: The cameraman thought he was going to be filming something else, say a sex-act or an actual orgy. Hence his snickering when the procession starts. Hence the bare-ankled participants (naked or lightly-clad under their cloaks). Then the knife appears: "What the fuck?" Then his panic when he sees the knife actually used.
