This project focuses on understanding different narrative structures in storytelling, with specific emphasis on the framed narrative form. A framed narrative is a nested structure in which a story exists within another story, allowing multiple narratives to unfold in an interconnected manner. The film employs this structure to tell the story of a child and his grandfather, centring on a handmade birthday gift that holds emotional significance. The narrative follows the child’s search for the gift, with events presented in a non-linear sequence. As the story progresses, the relationship between the child and the grandfather is gradually revealed. The film, titled The Gift, portrays the object as a token of love, personally crafted by the grandfather, who is a storyteller expressing his narratives through book sculptures. The project also explores the fusion of multiple animation mediums, including clay, cutout, and hand-drawn animation, to create distinct visual identities for each of the interlaced sub-stories. Each medium supports the narrative requirements of its respective story, while the framed structure organises and connects the individual narratives, ensuring that each sub-story holds significance both independently and within the larger narrative framework.
