Also "found-footage" as an adjective?
[edit]If a hyphen is added, it becomes an adjective. In this article of The Guardian we find "found-footage horror", "found-footage framework" and "found-footage films". Regards. --95.20.44.152 15:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- No. That is just attributive use of the noun. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:05, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Right, but it's got a different spelling due to the hyphen added. --87.222.109.55 09:17, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- That's true of any phrase use as a modifier: "nine-letter word", "attributive-noun syntax", etc. Not everyone uses the hyphens,but that's what they're for. Chuck Entz (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- After googling it, the attributive use of this specific expression seems even more common than the expression itself as a noun phrase. An explanatory note seems apt and maybe a redirect or something similar with the hyphen version could be useful. Regards. --95.20.76.252 11:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Sense 2 says: "A motion picture, or a segment of one, photographed in the style of an amateurish or unedited documentary." But the citation describes "a movie ... that ... used 'found footage' to give a patina of realism". That does not agree with the sense. Equinox ◑ 17:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
