APA format would be useful for your references. Not for the essay itself.

APA can be very confusing when writing an essay with citations/references.  I also struggle in this area, but the best place that I have found, other than the purdue owl, is at my college's online Library.  Your school has some kind of a library and I bet you can find some resources on how to properly cite and list references for an essay.  Note that for APA formatting, you must use in-text citations as well as references at the end of the paper.

hdgreen, when doing the essay, I only have to do in text citation if i quote someone or something right?  To make it simple for myself, I didn't use any word for word quotes I just explained it in my own words. Do i site my source (the films) at the end in apa format though?
