different ways telling time?

different ways telling time?

In the video series, video 2.1 at about time = 12:30 Paralee talks about when someone has to work and the text used is "a las 8 de la mañana".

This seems to conflict with the earlier lesson which specifically explains that any time beyond the first hour is referenced as "son las #".

Is this an error in the video or is there different reasons to use different syntax depending on the context?

Thank you!
