This lesson focuses on the referencing section of an essay, specifically on the Harvard referencing format
Attributing Ideas
Since all the authors you cite will be listed in your bibliography, brief references by surname, publication date and page number are all you need when you mention their ideas in your text.
Egs:
Corrigan (2001, pp.132-6) emphasises the importance of writing coherent paragraphs.
Narration refers to the means by which narrative information is relayed to the audience of a film (Buckland, 1998, p.34)
Using Quotations
- Short prose quotations (up to three lines long) should be incorporated into your own sentence, using double quotation marks. Always check that your sentence grammar has remained intact.
For example: In Battleship Potemkin, “The three shots of the lions create a montage unit” (Buckland, 1998, p.23).
- Longer prose quotations should be indented and single-spaced (remembering that you are using double or line and a half spacing elsewhere in your text). They should be preceded and followed by a line space. No quotation marks are used where a quotation is indented in this way.
Other information of bibliography in the Harvard Style are useful for me, including: Book, Exhibition Catalogue, Journal article, Website without author, Website with author, Television Broadcast, Film / Movie, Video / films on YouTube, Exhibitions , Visual Material.
