Diana Cinematografica

Logo (August 22, 1953-December 22, 1955)

Visuals: Over a dark background, there is a silhouetted model of Diana, the goddess of hunting, wild animals, fertility, and the Moon, standing on the left and facing the camera while holding a bow and arrow. The platform rotates counter-clockwise until Diana is in front of the camera and facing towards the right side. A spotlight illuminates from the left, revealing the entirety of the Diana model as well as a spiraling gray filmstrip covering up her private parts. Following this, "DIANA" and "CINEMATOGRAFICA" in a bolded serif font fade in separately on the horizontal parts of the filmstrip, along with a cursive "presenta" fading on the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Variants:

A later version exists: here, Diana is standing on top of a grassy platform and against a blue background. When the spotlight illuminates her, her breasts are fully exposed, which are then later covered up by a more detailed gray filmstrip containing the same "DIANA CINEMATOGRAFICA" in red, wiping in around Diana. It ends with "presenta" in a brush font wiping in right next to her left leg.
An alternate version of the later variant also exists where the environment takes place on a grassy environment and a cirrus cloud background. The texts are colored white and "presenta" is in a different cursive font.

Technique: Practical effects and cel animation.

Audio: A royal horn fanfare which consists of two different melodies played twice with the second repetition being quieter than the first.

On A Husband for Anna, none.
