Sumario:The analysis and identification of figurative language is one of the largest research areas in cognitive linguistics, and metaphor is one of these tropes. This thesis develops The Filmic Metaphor Identification Procedure (FILMIP), a modified and dynamic version of another method for the identification of metaphors in still pictures (VISMIP, Šorm & Steen, 2018), and presents its application to a corpus of several TV commercials where distinct communicative modes interact to construe filmic metaphors in a cross-modal fashion. The method is then tested for reliability and validity, obtaining highly significant results. FILMIP offers a valuable contribution not only to metaphor scholars but also to researchers focused on other fields of study such as multimodality, discourse analysis, communication, branding, or even film theory
