Abstract
This article proposes a method to analyze movies at a sequence level in dynamic terms based on the functional framework of analysis derived from systemic functional linguistics and developed by multimodal discourse analysis, and which focuses on the use of locative Circumstances as affordances implicitly selecting changes of perspective.
The two perspectives that will be taken into consideration have been elaborated through the study of how human presence is construed in hyper-environments and how this construal affects the web user's degree of involvement. A parallel between the creation of hyper-environments and the creation of a movie is therefore also proposed.
