Over a period of more than fifty years, promotional films for British popular music have received critical acclaim and numerous awards. Since the launch of MTV in 1981, these films have become known as 'music videos', despite the fact that until the 2000s the overwhelming majority were shot on 35mm and 16mm film, and despite the fact that the form predated MTV. In 1964 a series of short promotional films for British bands were commissioned culminating in seminal short 'promos' for The Kinks, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones through the mid- to late Sixties. Music videos have not only impacted subsequent generations of television viewers but have also inspired creative producers in fashion, design, photography and feature film. Directors Derek Jarman, Julian Temple, Jonathan Glazer, John Maybury and Jamie Thraves are among a number of filmmakers behind some of the most innovative and celebrated music videos. Yet despite its recognition, its innovation and its longevity, the cultural significance of music video within British academic research has been largely unacknowledged. This project seeks to change that. The two-year study is a collaboration between the University of Portsmouth and University of the Arts London in partnership with the British Film Institute and the British Library. It draws together both industry and academic expertise. Permission has been given for the research team to use a new and very rich selection of data, archives, and films from private industry collections. The team will bring together leading academics in popular music, film and television studies and cultural studies to analyse the significance of these collections both for an international audience of academics (thorough our academic outputs) and for the general public (through the nationwide public cinema screenings).In Year 1, using new data donated by British licensing agency, Video Performance Licensing (VPL), and the trade journal Promo News, the CI will create a master database of British music videos 1964-2014, and a separate database of detailed production credits for 1992-2014. These will generate core data necessary to investigate the research questions. In consultation with industry experts and a steering committee of academics, we will select titles of 60 British music videos as case studies for further analysis during a series of six academic focus groups at the BFI. The research questions will be investigated further in a series of industry panels at the BL and supplementary interviews with leading industry figures and archival research. We will also conduct case study analyses of Warp Records and a case study analysis of The Chart Show (using restricted data on single sales held at the British Phonograph Industry Library). The results will be disseminated in a book and a journal special issue. The book will be a monograph which presents a history of the structure, creative practices, models of authorship, stylistic innovations and influences of the industry. The journal special issue will present the results of the focus groups in a series of specially commissioned articles about the cultural significance of British videos written by academics from popular music, film and television studies and cultural studies. The project will also generate two permanent digital collections of music videos at the BFI and BL for the general public and academics. In order to make them more accessible nationwide they will also be exhibited to the public in a series of cinema screenings in London, Belfast, Edinburgh and Manchester, and distributed on a BluRay/DVD by Soda Pictures. There will also be public talk by the CI, Dr Emily Caston, at the British Library to launch these new collections.

在五十多年的时间里，英国流行音乐的宣传电影获得了好评和众多奖项。自1981年MTV推出以来，这些电影已被称为“音乐视频”，尽管直到2000年代，绝大多数人还是以35毫米和16毫米的电影拍摄，尽管事实是MTV的事实。 1964年，一系列为英国乐队的简短宣传电影被委托在六十年代中期至后期以扭结，平克·弗洛伊德（Pink Floyd）和滚石乐队（Pink Floyd）和滚石乐队（Rolling Stones）为最终。音乐视频不仅影响了后来的电视观众，而且还激发了时尚，设计，摄影和故事片的创意制作人。导演Derek Jarman，Julian Temple，Jonathan Glazer，John Maybury和Jamie Thraves是一些最具创新性和著名音乐录影带的电影制片人。然而，尽管它得到了认可，创新和寿命，但英国学术研究中音乐录影带的文化意义在很大程度上尚未得到认可。该项目试图改变这一点。这项为期两年的研究是与英国电影学院和大英图书馆合作的朴茨茅斯大学和伦敦艺术大学之间的合作。它汇集了行业和学术专业知识。已允许研究团队使用私人行业收藏中的新的且非常丰富的数据，档案和电影选择。该团队将汇集主要的流行音乐，电影和电视研究和文化研究的领先学者，以分析这些收藏的重要性，包括国际学者（彻底的我们的学术成果）和公众（通过全国公共电影院筛查）。在第一年中，使用英国许可机构，视频绩效（vpl）（vpl），COMO PROMPOR，PROMPO，PROMBAR，PROGRAB，PROGRAP，通过全国公共电影院放映）。 1964 - 2014年，以及1992 - 2014年的详细生产学分数据库。这些将生成研究研究问题所需的核心数据。在与行业专家和学者指导委员会协商下，我们将在BFI的六个学术焦点小组中选择60个英国音乐视频的标题作为案例研究，以进行进一步分析。研究问题将在BL的一系列行业小组以及对领先行业人物和档案研究的补充访谈中进行进一步研究。我们还将对翘曲记录进行案例研究分析，并对图表显示的案例研究分析（使用在英国留声机行业图书馆举行的单一销售数据的限制数据）。结果将在书籍和期刊特刊中传播。这本书将是一本专着，介绍了该行业的结构，创造性实践，作者的模式，风格创新和影响力的历史。 《特刊》杂志将在一系列专门委托的文章中介绍焦点小组的结果，内容涉及流行音乐，电影和电视研究和文化研究的学者撰写的英国视频的文化意义。该项目还将在BFI和BL为公众和学术界生成两个永久性的音乐视频集合。为了使他们在全国范围内更容易获得，他们也将在伦敦，贝尔法斯特，爱丁堡和曼彻斯特的一系列电影放映中向公众展出，并在Soda Pictures上发行了Bluray/DVD。大英图书馆的CI，CI，Emily Caston博士还将进行公开演讲，以推出这些新收藏。
