MLA style is used to cite sources within film studies, the language arts, cultural studies, and other humanities disciplines. MLA style is a standard for the formatting of research papers, including the formatting of in-text citations and the list of sources used.
Film and video are also increasingly studied in social science disciplines where APA style may be required.
Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, without their consent or acknowledgment. You must cite the ideas, information, arguments, phrases or any other intellectual or creative output by another person.
Examples of plagiarism:
Just as one would cite an author of a written source, one must also cite video, audio, or images that are used in an essay or presentation. This requires citing a specific website even if content was initially located using a Google search; the source website must be cited, not the Google results page. See the links below for information on citing video, audio, and images, and for information on formatting labels and captions.
