FEATURES OF METAPHORS IN THE STRUCTURE OF CINEMATOGRAPHIC MASTERY

Abstract

This article presents a typology of metaphors in cinematographic art, examining their evolution from technical devices to artistic imagery. The study develops a multi-level classification based on methods of realization, semiotic nature, narrative function, and technological paradigm. Special attention is given to the concept of systemic metaphor as a criterion of authorial status, the influence of national schools, and the transformation of metaphor in the digital era. A methodology for empirical analysis of cinematographic metaphor is proposed.
