Reference lists
Rules for audio visual materials depend on whether you are referencing a standalone item, or part of a series
The 'author' of the work depends on its format, but is usually the person with primary responsibility for the idea or intellectual content of the item.
The format is shown in square brackets after the title, e.g [Film], [TV series], [Video].
If a resource is in a different language to your paper, include a translation of the title in square brackets immediately after the title in its source language e.g. Y tu Mama, tambien [And your Mom too]
If a date cannot be found, use (n.d.) in the date field
Reference lists should be arranged in alphabetical order by author. All lines after the first line in each individual reference should be indented by 1.25cm. For more information on setting out your reference list, refer to the 'Reference List Example' page of this guide.
For films or videos, use the director as the work's author.
If you are referencing a television series, credit the executive producer/s as the author. For a single episode of a TV series, credit both the writer and the director of the episode.
The author's role is indicated following their name in the reference list.
If you can't find details of these contributors, use the work's title as the author, followed by a full stop.
