Research Interests

Ian is a leading exponent of academic audiovisual film and television criticism, and his practice and critical reflection has been published in a number of online forums. He has also published widely on issues to do with the soundtrack in film and television, on the sensuous aspects of storytelling in film, on Bollywood, American Independent Cinema and New German Cinema. He is currently combining his interest in the role of supporting actors and characters in film with his exploration of audiovisual research formats. He is also investigating the function of sound in the audiovisual essay and its proximate forms. Ian’s Vimeo page, which contains his audiovisual research, can be found here.

Biography

In 1999, Ian completed his PhD on ‘Popular Music and Characterisation in Narrative Cinema’ at University of Warwick, under the supervision of Professor Richard Dyer. He joined University of Glasgow in 2000, and was made Senior Lecturer in 2014. He is the author of two monographs, ‘The Pop Song in Film’ (2006) and ‘The Sense of Film Narration’ (2013).
