Place the parenthetical reference after the last line. If a quotation is longer than four lines, set if off from your text by beginning a new line, indenting one inch from the left margin, and typing it double-spaced, without adding quotation marks. The issue is dealt with directly in Chapter Two, as part of considering the debate around drama-documentary forms, and it occurs in relation to specific works throughout this book. This is a usefully provocative point, though agreement with it will largely rest on certain, contestable ideas about 'fictionalisation' and 'dramatisation'. Of non-fiction film, the non-fiction genre while at the same timeĪllowing the films to use the significant fictionalising technique Grierson's taxonomic triumph was to make his particular species Winston's reasse ssment of Grierson finds the play-off between creativity and realness unconvincing: More than three lines long (a "block quotation") Example If a prose qu otation is no more than three lines and does not require special emphasis, put it in quotation marks and incorporate it into the text. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," wrote Charles Dic kens of the eighteenth century (5).

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," wrote Charles Dickens of the eighteenth century (5).This is called an 'author prominent' citation, and it will look something like this: There is no need to repeat the author's name if it is already used in your sentence. Use of the author's name in an in-text citation The in-text citation should unambiguously direct the reader to the entry in your works-cited list at the end of your document. The citations in-text are very brief, usually just the author's last name and a relevant page number, in parenthesis at a natural pause in your text. The MLA system uses in-text citations rather than footnotes or endnotes.
