How would I cite sources in MLA format if I'm using video clips/mix?
I downloaded a few mixes of clips from youtube on a report I'm doing on sports officiating. The clips are fan made videos but have interviews by the nba, the score, among many broadcasting places. Do I have to cite the source since its not a official video?
I was planning on attaching a burnt dvd of these clips to go along the formal report I'm writing so its there for the teacher.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
An online video is still a video. It doesn't matter whether or not it's "official;" as long as the idea or, in this case, the video is not yours, you must cite it. Otherwise, it can considered to be plagiarism.
Your citation should include as much information as possible. In this case, for instance, you can presumably include:
- The video title
- The user who submitted the video
- The type of medium, (i.e. "online video")
- The name of the website where the video was found
- The URL of the website where the video was found
- The date on which you retrieved the video
Note: when citing the user who submitted the video, you might want to include the username, followed by "et. al," (which means: "and others"), which indicates that other people may have also contributed to the video. For example:
"[username], et. al...."
