Module Seven: "That's a Wrap! Now It's Time for Action!"

This final lecture, "That's a Wrap! Now It's Time for Action!" serves as a wrap-up and summary of the key "Popcorn Principles" covered throughout the course on applying cinematic storytelling techniques to novel writing.
After this lecture, students will be able to:
1. Recall the six core principles explored, from "Stop Getting Ready and Just Do It" to "Come In Late, Leave Early."
2. Put these filmmaking-inspired methods into practice through five hands-on assignments tailored to their current writing projects.
3. Implement the "just write" exercise to overcome procrastination using a timed, free-writing approach.
4. Study effective storytelling examples by reading novels and watching movies in their genre.
5. Mine their own unique life experiences as fertile ground for authentic, resonant narratives.
6. Ensure their work-in-progress upholds genre conventions and thematic commitment.
7. Tighten key scenes by entering late and exiting early for maximum narrative impact.
The key takeaway is that students now have a toolbox of cross-disciplinary techniques to continually strengthen their novel writing process, emulating the powerful storytelling of popular films to create more immersive, emotionally compelling prose. This wrap-up prompts them into actively applying these "Popcorn Principles" through pragmatic assignments.
