If you'd like to have a go at using that guide to compose and format a draft, APA-style reference for the movie that your classmates and peers are reviewing (Mrs. Doubtfire), feel free to post one in comments on this post. Likewise, if you have questions about the composition, formatting, or purposes of APA-style references, in general, please feel free to spell them out in comments on this post.
Last but not least, whenever you're composing references, please remember that:
- As with authors' names for book references, you should list producers' and directors' family names before their given names (and middle names or initials, if available) for movies;
- Commas and single spaces separate family names from other names or initials, and
- For practice in the writing course you are taking, you should spell out given names, followed by middle names or initials (if available). That will facilitate comparison and cross-checking of your draft references.
