Visuals: Twenty five copies of an eye with a "C"-shaped pupil alongside two smaller, separate pieces in the inner circle are shown in gray rectangular cards in varying shades of said colour. The ninth card on the top is red with the symbol engraved on it. It opens to reveal a film countdown animation starting at "5" on a black background. The shot changes to a 4x4 assortment of the cards, followed by 3x3 and 2x2. The cards change colors in each shot, which include yellow green, cyan, and pink respectively. After the latter shot, the screen changes to the eye in white center right aligned on a black background. It blinks and looks towards each forming line where "ciné", "mato", and "graphe" pop in within an unaligned vertical stacked format. Simultaneously, the background becomes brighter after each blink. When all the words are displayed, the eye stares back at the screen.
