Closing Credits

 

Your video must have closing credits in static (non-scrolling) slides of 3-4 seconds each.* Your closing credits should include, in this order:

  1. Your group members’ full names and any acknowledgments you want to make; here’s where you can includes names of interviewees
  2. Abbreviated bibliography
  3. Copyright attribution: images/video
  4. Copyright attribution: audio

Bibliography

This will be slightly different than the bibliography, in that the credits should have a truncated format to ensure readability. Submit a final, accurate bibliography to Freeden as Word document by the start of the last class on Monday, December 12.

For each source, include the author, the year, and the full title of the piece (e.g. book title; article title but not journal or newspaper name). Exclude other information like the name of the press, place of publication, etc.

Examples:

Bederman, Gail. 1995. Manliness & Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender & Race in the United States, 1880-1917.
Beinart, Peter. 2016. “Fear of a Female President.”

Image/Video Sources

Images: List the name of the image, the name of the person who uploaded it, and the site. Note that the reason for going through the Creative Commons page is to insure that what you use will be copyright-friendly. If the image is one you took or created yourself, you must also provide a citation listing the date you created it. Follow these examples:

Video: If you are using a video clip of another person’s work (under the Fair Use guidelines) you must attribute the source in your closing credits. Include the title, followed by the director/creator, year of production, and production company (if applicable). For non-commercial clips (such as found through a database or video site), a second example is provided below.

All footage taken by: Your Name(s).
