Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide

When citing video and film sources, the Chicago Author-Date makes reference to the Notes & Bibliography examples for guidance. Section 15.57: Citing Recordings & Multimedia in Author-Date provides additional guidance:

• Similar to social media and website examples, it may be sufficient to refer to film, video and multimedia in a sentence, rather than through formal citation. However, if the multimedia sources is only available in physical copy, it should be cited in full.
