This is a test post to see whether the RSS feed correctly interprets the link to a sample MP3 file on archive.org. I will know this when my iPodder picks up the MP3 file.

Title shot from the short film 'A Lump in the Road'.

I've been finding it hard to put as much time into the online testing as I did in the first week or so. I'm certainly behind on the script reports, and am only just keeping up with the reading. It's partly a busy time at work, but also I didn't expect the volume of work to do that has come through. But I'll keep plugging away and do what I can...

I've had a few ideas for the 'media issue' that I'll pursue via this blog:

a) look at day and date releasing and the schedule of 'blockbuster' or
'tentpole' films due for release in Summer 2005
b) look at the marketing and promotion strategies for the 3 British short films that received Oscar nominations this year (this would be of most direct practical use to me in marketing my own short films) http://www.oscars.org/77academyawards/nomswins.html
c) track the release of a film due out next week - what marketing approach is it taking, what audience is it aiming for, how does it perform in the box office, what are reviews like etc etc

I may check these ideas out with David Grigg online.

This is a test post, just to get the site going.
