Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production

Step 2

Screenwriting School

Question

Identify the film and media institution that published a guide on 'Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production,' which explicitly characterizes the 'Production' stage as the time when the assistant director (AD) shines by coordinating teams, and the 'Distribution' stage as an era where 'streaming is king' despite previous reliance on physical media. Based on this institution's screenwriting school curriculum, identify all '15-Week Online' workshops offered. For each workshop, provide the full title and detail any specific prerequisites, prior coursework completion, or submission materials (such as treatments, beat sheets, or scripts) required for enrollment as stated in their program descriptions.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Target Entity: New York Film Academy (NYFA)
Logic Proof: The specific description of the AD shining in Production and 'streaming is king' in Distribution matches the NYFA 'Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production' guide.
Category Validation: Must list the '15-Week Online' workshops specifically, not the 4-week or degree programs.

Width checklist

15-Week Online Screenplay Story & Structure Workshop: No specific prerequisites listed (or noted as open/introductory).
15-Week Online Screenplay Workshop: Requires completion of the Story & Structure Workshop OR submission of a full-length treatment and beat sheet.
15-Week Online Writing for TV Spec Workshop: No specific prerequisites listed.
15-Week Online Television Pilot Workshop: Requires completion of the TV Spec Workshop OR submission of a formatted TV script.
15-Week Online Screenplay & Television Rewrite Workshop: Requires a previously written screenplay, pilot teleplay, or series proposal (from prior class or outside work).
15-Week Online Writing For Comic Books Workshop: No specific prerequisites listed.

Examiner rationale

The question uses unique descriptive language from the '7 Stages' guide (Deep Logic) to force the identification of the New York Film Academy without naming it. It then requires the agent to parse the institution's screenwriting catalog to find a specific subset of courses (15-Week Online) and extract conditional enrollment details for each (Wide Aggregation).

Judgment

Better

Score 1 - 0

Both agents correctly identified the New York Film Academy (NYFA). However, both struggled to provide the full, accurate list of workshops specified in the Ground Truth. Agent A is the winner because it linked to the correct curriculum page and provided information that, while oversimplified (grouping courses into two generic categories), was grounded in the correct source. It correctly noted that the entry-level courses have no prerequisites, though it failed to list the advanced courses that do. Agent B, while using better formatting, hallucinated several workshop titles (e.g., 'Genre Screenwriting', 'Pilot to Series') that do not appear in the standard 15-week online curriculum. Furthermore, Agent B cited the blog post (Source 6) as the source for the curriculum details, which is a hallucination of the source content (the blog post does not list workshops). Agent A is preferred for better grounding and avoiding fabrication.
