There are different ways to format an in-text citation, depending on your writing style and sentence structure. In-text citations must correspond to the first element of the works cited entry. For videos, this will often be the title of the film, series, episode, etc. However, if your use of the film focuses on the director, it may be the director's last name. Include timings as necessary.
