Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production

Step 2

Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing and Innovation

Question

Within the context of mastering all seven stages of film production—from development through distribution—identify the fully online, three-semester master’s degree designed to train producers at an executive and entrepreneurial level. Then, compare it with the broader producing school that offers in-person degrees, certificates, and workshops. What is the name of the online degree, its program duration, tuition structure, key curriculum components, and types of capstone or final projects required? Additionally, what degree levels, certificate options, workshop formats, campus locations, and areas of training are offered by the larger producing school, and how do these collectively prepare students to oversee every stage of film production?

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing and Innovation + Identified as the fully online, three-semester executive-focused producing degree
NYFA Producing School + Identified as the broader school offering multiple degree levels, certificates, and workshops covering all seven stages of film production

Width checklist

Program duration (three semesters, one year) of the online master’s degree
Tuition structure (per semester tuition and technology fee) of the online master’s degree
Key curriculum components (producing essentials, line producing/production accounting, pitching, finance, distribution, marketing, entertainment law, history/theory support)
Description of required projects and final e-portfolio capstone for the online degree
Degree levels offered by the producing school (MFA, MA, BFA, AFA, online MA)
Certificate options (1-Year Producing Certificate Programs)
Workshop formats (full-time, part-time, 15-week online, 4-week online, 2-day online line producing)
Campus locations (New York, Los Angeles, Online, satellite locations)
Training coverage across development, financing, production, marketing, and distribution

Examiner rationale

The question uses the logic of the seven stages of film production (development through distribution) to indirectly filter for producing-focused academic pathways (Deep reasoning). It requires identifying the specific online entrepreneurial MA and the broader producing school without naming them in the prompt. To answer fully, the respondent must aggregate scattered details about duration, tuition, curriculum, projects, degree levels, workshops, campuses, and training scope across both entities (Wide aggregation).

Judgment

Tie

NONE

Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic check: Both agents failed to identify the correct fully online, three-semester executive-focused degree (Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing and Innovation). Agent A incorrectly named Brooklyn College’s Online MFA in Producing, while Agent B cited The Los Angeles Film School’s Online MA in Film Production. Therefore, both fail the core entity requirement. Width/Completeness: Because the main entity is wrong in both cases, key required details (three-semester structure, per-semester tuition plus technology fee, e-portfolio capstone, specific curriculum framing) are either missing or inaccurate. For NYFA, both provide partial coverage of degree levels and campuses, but neither fully captures the specified workshop formats (15-week online, 4-week online, 2-day online line producing), the online MA option, or the precise certificate structure. Thus, both fail multiple checklist items. Presentation & UX: Agent B is slightly more structured and scannable, but this stylistic advantage cannot outweigh the incorrect core identification. Since both responses fail the Deep Logic requirement and miss several required sub-points, this is a LOW quality tie.

The fully online, three-semester master’s degree designed for executive and entrepreneurial producers is the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Producing offered by the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema at Brooklyn College [1]. This 42-credit program is completed over one calendar year (Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters) [1]. Its tuition is structured on a per-credit basis, with distinct rates for New York State residents and out-of-state students [2]. Key curriculum components include courses such as The Art of the Pitch, Entertainment Law, Creative Producing, and Marketing & Distribution. The final capstone project involves developing a viable creative property from an initial concept into a comprehensive business plan and pitch package, making it ready for financing and market presentation [1]. This specialized online MFA contrasts with the broader New York Film Academy (NYFA), which offers a wide array of in-person programs across multiple campuses [3]. NYFA provides degree levels from Associate (AFA) to Bachelor (BFA) and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Producing [4]. It also offers one- and two-year conservatory certificates and short-term workshops ranging from one to eight weeks [3, 4]. With primary campuses in New York City, Los Angeles, and Gold Coast, Australia, NYFA emphasizes a "learning by doing" approach [5]. This methodology prepares students to oversee every stage of production by having them actively produce multiple film projects, where they manage budgeting, casting, on-set logistics, post-production supervision, and distribution planning [4]. ## References [1] Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema.
