As Animation students, you will be using the APA 7th referencing style. 

Why we reference

 

At university you are expected to reference information sources used in your assignments. Referencing is important as it:

  • gives credit to authors
  • shows that you’ve done your research  
  • means that others can find the resources you have used.

Tips: 

  • The creator of a film or video is the director, or if there is no director, choose someone in a similar role
  • For films & videos, quote using timestamps 
  • If you are referring to a special cut or version of the film (i.e. not the theatrical release), include these details in the [Media Type] component
