1. Signal phrases are used to introduced a quote or a long quote but what if a quote is too long how do you cut it down to keep the main point of your paper with losing the meaning of that long quote? (talk about it before but please remind me again)
2. If you are using a documentary as your source and use a MLA video structure, how do you put the main actors or actresses in your work cited when a documentary has no actors but real people?
3. How do you know when to put more in-text citations when your just writing on the same source?

1) Well if you are literally quoting something word for word, you can use three dots ... to omit parts of the quote that aren't as important as the rest of the quote.
2) DVD, Video or Film Title (underlined)
Series Title (no underline or quotation marks)
Director/Filmmaker OR Personal Producer OR Corporate/Institutional Producer.
Other individuals responsible for the work (e.g., writer) if relevant
Key Actors or other Key Performers.
If the work being cited is the original format (i.e. if you've viewed the film in a theater), cite the Studio Name OR Production Company followed by production date OR original release date (If known)
Format (if the version you're citing is video or DVD)
Distributor (i.e. DVD or video distributor)
Distribution Date (separated from the distributor by a comma)
3) You still add your in-text citation. Remember that it's always better to 'overcite'.
