University of California Irvine Birth of a Nation Annotated Bibliography

Overview

BIBLIOGRAPHY GUIDELINES

Bibliographies should be in a standard 12-point font with 1" margins.

Your sources should be listed in Chicago citation style (see below).

Each citation should be followed by one to two sentences briefly describing the

contents of the source and its relevance to your film.

You must attach screenshots of each of your sources.

Bibliographies should have at least eight sources that are specifically focused on your chosen film. We suggest that you find at least twelve, so you still have enough

if some prove to be inadequate.

The sources must be from within two years of the film’s release for American films,

and five years of release for international films.

If your TA believes you do not have adequate sources, you will be asked to submit a

second draft of your bibliography. If you are requested to submit a second draft, you

will not receive full credit for this assignment until you do so.
