Video Content - Open Uni/Cite Them Right Harvard

I've just started using Zotero with the Cite Them Right Harvard style and it appears to be working correctly for PDFs.

But when I try to cite a video, I'm getting different results.

Cite Them Right 'Audio or video downloads (Harvard)' states:
Author/singer/artist (if available; if not use title first)
Year of distribution (in round brackets)
Title of recording/video (in italics)
Available at: URL
(Downloaded: date)

Open University examples (funnily enough, there are minor differences)
The Open University (Year of module start) ‘Changes and challenges on the street’ , DD102 Introducing the social sciences. Available at: https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=855393&section=2.1 (Accessed: date).

The Open University (2022) ‘Video 2.7 An example of a Frith-Happé animation’. SK298: Brain, mind and mental health. Available at: https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=2013014&section=4.9.6 (Accessed: 22 November 2022).

My metadata:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u13518071/kdt9arc20lj31hmluj2a.png

My result:
‘The Life and Times of the Street: Part 1’, DD102 Introducing the social sciences (2022). The Open University. Available at: https://learn2.open.ac.uk/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=2255745&section=2 (Accessed: 11 February 2024).

The Producer and Title information need to be swapped.
Have I entered my metadata incorrectly?
To me, it appears like the citation requirements are fundamentally different between book and video content. Is Zotereo able to hand this kind of situation? Should I just enter the metadata backwards.

Thank you

  • Try Author: The Open University in the extra field.
  • Thank you Adam. That has worked and I've removed The Open University from the studio field.

    Can you also suggest how I should get:
    The Life and Times of the Street: Part 1 without italics
    DD102 Introducing the Social Sciences with italics

    It looks like the Title field is in italics, but if I put DD102 Introducing the Social Sciences as the title, I wouldn't be able to find anything in the Collection.

    <i>'The Life and Times of the Street: Part 1'</i>, DD102 Introducing the Social Sciences in the title field should work (though might admittedly be a bit weird in other citation styles).
  • Amazing, thank you! I'm familiar with HTML tags, but I didn't think to try them.

    'other citation styles' I'll cross that bridge if I have to :D Thank you again
