Common Mistakes

1. **Crediting the wrong person as author** -- For YouTube, the uploader or channel is the author. For films, the director is listed as the author. 2. **Omitting the format in brackets** -- Always include [Video], [Film], or [TV series episode] in brackets after the title. 3. **Formatting timestamps as pages** -- When citing a specific part, use a timestamp in the in-text citation: (TED, 2019, 4:30).
