Tired of the same boring old story structure? Try your hand at writing a frame narrative.






For example: Remember the Titans

The ending of the film, the funeral scene, provides the "framework" (sets up) the entire story. 

 
The beginning scene in Remember the Titans, is also the ending scene. 

The introduction of a frame story is often very mysterious and creates a lot of questions for the reader because a frame narrative begins at the conclusion. The narrator then will go back in time, using craft moves such as flashbacks, to explain to the audience the events that lead to the beginning scene of a frame story.
