requirements for citing from films/video, plus link on how to cite film and other media material, MLA style.

Citing Film and other Media MLA Style


IN ADDITION, NOTE BELOW:

Along with these standard formats, I want you also to include the exact minute/second of the scene/clip you are referring to as your example.  That is, if you are talking about the image of the experimental subject exploding blood from its head in Reanimator, I want it to look like this:

In another example, Gordon's fashioning of the zombie-figure combines a magnification effect and a formlessness effect.  In the second hospital scene, West's attempt to reanimate a cadaver is unexpectedly successful.  In this sequence, the zombie's face is brought into a close-up shot.  Blood spurts from all of the head's openings: eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.  The features of the face are almost invisible under the sanguinary flood.  The magnified face nearly fills the screen as the blood flows like water leaking from a broken vessel.  The normal features of a human face give way to an undifferentiated haze of plasma and mucus.  The scream the zombie delivers, a gurgling, raucous sound far removed from normal human speech, seconds the sense of being overwhelmed by a liquescent formlessness (Reanimator 55:33).
