- This is a multi-component output: a monograph (208 pp); a curated box-set DVD of 200 landmark music videos and booklet; three dossiers in journal special editions. These are the outcome of a four-year AHRC-funded research project. The research process included 70 interviews with filmmakers and record label employees; focus groups; social media groups; extensive archival research in private (donated) collections of individual filmmakers, Promo [trade paper], and related trade press ; and the selection and close reading of the videos. Extensive cross-checking of sources was required to provide the first definitive list of production credits for many of the videos.

Outputs are from an AHRC-funded programme identifying the innovations achieved by the British music video industry, 1966 to 2016; establishing the scale and scope of the industry; and identifying its impact (AH/M003515/1 and AH/P01321X/1).
The research process included industry-based focus groups; close reading of a sample of videos; oral, archival and social media research to identify production and distribution credits; analysis of policy on the British screen industries.
The monograph was structured to be read alongside the curated DVD boxset; an appendix reproduces the production credits in the boxset booklet.
The MSMI dossier considers the impact of the research for screen dance studies and film and television studies. The JCBTV dossier explains the sector’s technological, corporate and television innovations. The Alphaville dossier examines the underlying curatorial, archival and partnership research involved and assesses the archive, policy and industry impacts in Britain and Cuba.
Caston’s documentary video Dancing and dreaming: 50 years of British music video in Havana (https://repository.uwl.ac.uk/id/eprint/7646/) provides contextual information.
