Visuals: A bright blue light occurs on the center of the screen as a blue-tinted film leader starts rolling in over a biconcaved shape. After the tenth second of the countdown is shown, it cuts to two close-up shots of a film projector with the filmstrip shows the ninth second of the film leader countdown. It then switches back to the film leader, now showing the seventh second of the countdown for a split second before it cuts to four close-up shots of a film projector. The scene then cuts back to the film leader countdown, now arriving at the third second, also shown for a split second before three close-up shots of a film projector are shown. As the countdown finishes, the film camera glows, showing the logo, consists of a biconvex rectangle with a sunburst on the bottom-left of it and "E N C O R E" below, projected onto it. The scene flashes throughout as the camera going closer to the film camera, before it cuts to the logo flies through the white light, as the logo ends with the biconvex rectangle, with the outline of it and the sunburst being colored blue, rotates to the right while the text rotates to the left, all settling on a blue biconcaved shape. A light then runs through the biconvex rectangle before it disappears.

Technique: Live-action and CGI.

Audio: A rising synth tune before segueing into a groovy orchestral tune in sync with the animation, which almost sounds like Among Us theme at the end.
