Visuals: On a black background, there is footage of a dog inside of a MGM-inspired filmstrip. Below the filmstrip are the letters "ASA" in white. With the word "præsenteree" on the bottom left side of "ASA". The dog is seen moving around and barks a few times before the logo fades to black.

Technique: Live-action footage.

Audio: Both a fanfare and the dog barking.
