| 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.

[edit] Text removed from article
I removed the following unsourced text from article. If anyone can provide a source it can be readded.
- The film runs 34 seconds—presently a mystery, as at the time it was made, the Edison-Dickson Kinetograph camera with which it was shot could supposedly take films no longer than 20 seconds in length, even running at its slowest speed.
- In the early days of cinema, directors typically recorded everyday events such as the arrival of ships or workers leaving a factory. These short films were called "actualities." Later, with the advent of better equipment (which could record for longer), directors began to introduce more complicated narratives into film.
