| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Having just seen the film, I can report that the plot description given in the PR materials is incorrect, so I intend to edit the synopsis to reflect the finished film more accurately. Brick22
[edit] Innovative Concept
From what I have heard of this film, it is a fictional story made up entirely of clips taken from documentary footage. To the best of my knowledge this is not a concept which has ever been used before, and certainly not by a film as notable as this. I think this new technique should certainly be covered in the article, however I have not actually seen the film so I don't feel qualified to write it myself. If Herzog really did invent this format, it is very notable, and once added to the article I think it warrants a high importance assessment as well. Walkersam 20:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
