APA help!

Published

I am presenting a PowerPoint presentation next week and I am forming my reference page slide. I know how to reference all of my sources EXCEPT the picture that I have. I found the picture on-line and it's a picture of a movie scene. I have looked on Purdue Owl, and in my APA book but I am having no luck finding out how to reference this picture! Can someone please direct me on where to look for this information, or explain to me how to reference a photo?

Thank you so much :)

I would use one on of the following formats, both of which were taken from the APA Style Guide to Electronic References. If I understand your post correctly, the picture is a still photo taken from a movie. If that is the case, I would use the format for motion picture and describe the medium as photograph.

Motion picture: Producer, A. A (Producer) & Director, B. B. (Director). (year). Title of motion picture [Medium: DVD, video file, etc.]. Retrieved from http://xxxxx

Work of art: Artist, A. A. (copyright year). Title of work [Medium: Painting, drawing, sculpture, photograph, etc.]. Retrieved from http://xxxxx

You should be cautious if you are going to use either a citation generator or on-line style guide.
