It appears that the hangman in the clip is not Pierrepoint.
Pierrepoint is usually clean shaven (no moustache) and his features
are somewhat different.

It is certainly surprising that the Nuremberg hangings were not
recorded on movie camera. Hangings and death penalty were very common
at that period of time (as you can see in the numerous YouTube videos)
and were recorded often.
