Some tips!
1. Information you have borrowed from a source, such as quotations, summaries, and
paraphrases must be clearly documented.
2. Write out the movie lines, using proper punctuation and capitalization. Follow the general
punctuation rules, capitalizing the first word in each sentence and any proper nouns, such as
names.
Also, be sure to place the lines in quotation marks. If the lines are longer than four lines, create
a block quote. For block quotes, leave off the quotation marks. In that case, indent the entire
block of text one inch; double-space the section.
3. Place an in-text citation directly after the movie lines quoted and before the full stop
ending the final sentence. Place the name of the movie, properly capitalized, into parentheses;
format it with italics. Follow that with a full stop.
