Check with your school or publisher to ensure proper citation format. Journals in social sciences such as psychology, economics and business prefer the APA, but you should always check with the publisher so that you can meet their citation standards. Proper citation is an important consideration, as it helps give credibility to research and provides readers with a standardized format for references.
Utilize proper in-text video citation. APA style requires two separate citations. One citation is in-text at the end of the sentence referencing the source and a more complete citation is located in a works cited page at the end of the article. The proper in-text citation for a video is the producer followed by a comma and the year the film was made. If the producer is missing, use the title of the film.
Using "Super Size Me" as an example: Health risks associated with eating foods high in fat content has been evidenced in recent films (Spurlock, 2003).
Follow APA style guide for works cited page. The works cited page will provide additional information relating to the source being cited in your article. For video recordings, you should include producer, director, year video was made, title of video, source type, location and production company. If any of these elements cannot be determined, they may be omitted.
