'''Visuals:''' There is a satellite shot of Earth as it appears from outer space, covered in clouds, and pointed so that Southeast Asia and Oceania are in view. The camera eases in gradually towards a still satellite shot of Australia as the shot rotates clockwise, bringing the island into view. Once it finishes, "A film from" zooms out in a white serif font. Then "Roadshow", in a white font, zooms out below, followed by "The Australian Company" in the same white serif font below that. | |||
'''Variant:''' Two shortened versions exist. One starts when the zoom is almost finished, and the other starts as the words zoom out. The latter version would also be used for their television prints. | '''Variant:''' Two shortened versions exist.
