Referencing Videos
Just a quick questions for anyone viewing.
It's becoming more popular to review videos via youtube and/or media organisations during Uni assessments. Some of these videos are like an hour long.
I am curious if any of the standards (Harvard / APA etc ) have in place proper referencing guidelines for video quoting. The minute mark would replace a page number. We have had lecturers provide "soft" guidelines for individual assessments, but this has caused me some zotero problems. For example; a review of a panel discussion via recorded video, smith said something of note at 15:15 minutes and Jones said something of note at 22:30 mark and the entire video is by ABC production, hosted by John White, titled "the end of the world". I've realised in Zotero i had to make 2 entries for this, one for smith one for jones, and 'diddle' the page number to reflect video time mark - and then because of the individual speaker quotes, Ive had to revert these to "books" give them author status. So 2 snippets get 4 entries in zotero. In a recent review i collected 6 snippets that i wished to reference.
It wasn't impossible, but is there, should there, be a better way?
I hope all this makes sense, kind regards, Dave

But then again I don't know how it would be done with pen and paper. Maybe there is a gap..technology gap in the referencing standards that doesn't address videos enough.
thanks for the advice
The CSL variable author is mapped to "Director". So, I'd use that though.
If you wanted to go bananas about this, drop the director, but put in your speaker as a contributor, and TedTalk or TedX (or whatever) as the producer - they will get proper attribution, the contributor is attributed - is everyone happy?
Present this citation and reference to your uni lecturer/coordinator/supervisor for vetting (ie, before you use it for assignment/dissertation etc), but this is probably a good way to address this issue.
hope that helps
