Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
Metz.h

The cinema has no phonemes; nor does it, whatever one may say, have words. . . .It should be shown that the almost insurmountable difficulties that film "syntaxes" launch themselves into are derived for the most part from an initial confusion: The image is defined as a word, the sequence as a sentence. The case is, however, that the image (at least in the cinema) correpsonds to one or more sentences, and the sequence is a complex segment of discourse. (Metz, p. 65.)
