Fifty Years of British Music Video, 1964-2014: Assessing innovation, 
industry, influence and impact


The University of Portsmouth’s School of Media and Performing Arts, in 
collaboration with University of the Arts London, has been awarded an 
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant to research the 
history of British music video since the 1960s. This 2-year project, led 
by Dr Justin Smith (Principal Investigator, Portsmouth) and Dr Emily 
Caston (Co-investigator, UAL) will assemble a panel of industry 
executives and creatives from record labels and production companies to 
work with an advisory committee of academics to select a canon of music 
video titles for conservation within the BFI's National Archive which 
will be distributed to the general public by Soda Pictures as a box set 
DVD and exhibited across the UK in four national cinema screening 
sessions with leading music video curator David Knight (BUG, editor 
Promo News TV, curator UK Music Video Awards). The project will also 
create the first national database of British music videos free to 
access at the BFI and British Library. With original masters donated by 
record labels and production companies we will create two new 
collections of major national significance, at the BFI National Archive 
and British Library respectively, to accompany this database. These will 
be documented and analysed in a journal special issue, and a book 
relating the as yet untold story of British music video art.


We seek to appoint a full-time Research Administration Assistant on a 
fixed-term contract of 24 months. Working closely with and under the 
direction/instruction of the PI and CI, s/he will coordinate focus 
groups and interview panels at the BL and BFI, provide assistance with 
OCR scanning, assist the CI in digitising video material and securing 
licensing agreements. S/he will arrange, record and transcribe meetings 
at the BFI and BL, panel discussions and interviews. S/he will liaise 
with BUG and Soda Pictures on marketing and public engagement. The 
Research Administration Assistant will also be required to maintain the 
project workflow spreadsheet, to contribute to the project’s social 
media presence, and to work alongside the PI in the project office at 
Portsmouth.
