Visuals: In a cinema setting, there is a crowd and a purple (Screen 1)/ (Screen 2) curtain. The word "Movies" shines onto the curtain as the Sky logo forms above. Then, the curtain opens to reveal "Screen 1" or "Screen 2" on another curtain, which opens itself up to reveal a CGI-animated city.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: There is a "swoosh" sound and a "baling" sound while an announcer says "This is Sky Movies Screen 1/2". The CGI city footage uses an orchestrated tune.
