Merge discussion
[edit]I created Collage film, importing much of the text from a section on collage film in Collage, not realizing that Found footage addresses precisely the same topic (with the exception of "collage films" that are created by physically collaging found objects onto clear filmstrip, which is a secondary meaning). I believe there needs to be a merge. IMO, found footage is not synonymous with films made from found footage, and so I prefer to merge to Collage film. I believe an article can be written on found film as an example of a filmic found object. Others may disagree. I've posted a link to this discussion on Film project discussion board.

- I realize that this merge is even more necessary because of the existence of, and possible confusion created by, the popular fictional genres Found footage (genre) and its category Category:Found footage films. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:09, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, so as you'll see, I think I've found a reasonable way to keep both this article and found footage, which now refers specifically to the "raw material" of what can be used to make collage films and other mashup works, as well as used more traditionally in such genres as historical documentaries and WWII dramas, etc. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:02, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
