Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

Footnote/Endnote citations of all audiovisual materials are typically structured the same and include as much information about persons involved in the creation of the materials. Materials which were found online should include URL and citations for physical materials should include supplementary information as necessary (i.e. number of discs in an album).

Audiovisual materials cited using footnote/endnote style will contain some or all of the following elements:

1. Performer Name: (firstname, middlename, lastname).
2. "Title of Piece", in quotation marks (if part of a larger work).
3. Title of Work (in italicized characters).
4. 'by’, if necessary (e.g. composed by, directed by)
5. Composer Name: and other content creators, such as the writer, when necessary.
6. Publisher Name: of the publishing/recording company.
7. ID Number: for some recordings.
8. Copyright: date or date of production.
9. Medium: of the audiovisual material being used (e.g. CD, DVD, radio broadcast, etc).
10. Timestamp: (if source happens at a specific point in the recording)
11. URL/DOI: for online materials.
