The Modern Language Association (MLA) is a style of research and research writing that includes in-text citations and bibliographies. Most MLA in-text citations involve a parenthetical that includes the page number from which you got the information, but there is no page number when citing a documentary. In this case, you must mention the documentary in the body of the text, and cite it properly in the works-cited or bibliography section.
Instructions
1. Reference the documentary in the text as you begin discussing the information you got from the movie. Mention the name of the movie in italics, as well as the director or creator of the documentary. Since there is no page number, you do not need to do an in-text citation in parentheses.
2. Include the documentary in your works-cited or bibliography page. List the documentary's name first, in italics, followed by a period.
3. State the director and producer directly after the name in this fashion: "Dir. Director's name. Prod. Producer's Name."
4. Place the year the documentary was made after the name of the producer. Then state the production company's name, followed by a comma, followed by the release date and a period. Finally, state the documentary form, such as DVD or VHS, then finish the citation with a period.
