An excellent starting place for citing sources and footnoting in Turabian style is the Turabian Citation Quick Guide in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS). If there is a type of citation you need that is not provided on this page, please see the SBL Handbook of Style (available from the library as an e-book) -- it's probably there.
In general, when you cite a source, you want to provide as much information as possible about the source that will help someone locate it. The following is a kind of "macro" example of a source citation that you can use as a guide. Most sources do not have all the categories of information included in this sample citation -- for instance, your source may have only one author, or it may not be part of a series. You should fill in all the ones that your source has, in this order, and simply omit the rest. If your source has an editor instead of an author, move the editor's name to the beginning of the citation where the author's name is listed here.
Book Macro Citation
Author's Last Name, First Name and Second Author's First Name Last Name. "Essay Title." Pages first - last in Title of Book. Series Title. Volume number. Edited by Last Name, First Name and 2nd Editor's First Name Last Name. City, State Abbrev.: Publisher, publication year.
Journal Macro Citation
Author's Last Name, First Name and Second Author's First Name Last Name. "Article Title." Journal Title number/issue (publication year of journal): first page of article - last page of article.
When you cite a source, you will do so in three ways:
1) in your bibliography,
2) in the first footnote, and
3) in any subsequent footnotes that refer to that source.
This guide will list examples of all three citation formats (in that order) for different types of material you may need to cite.

For the purposes of citation, if at all possible, you should treat the time stamp (min/sec) on a film's playback as if it were the pages in a book or article.
