An explanation of the scene that closes the commercial.
philgoddard Jan 21, 2013:
You didn't answer my question; what does it say after "siguiente"?
Javier Moreno Pollarolo (asker) Jan 21, 2013:
You´re right. It is a commercial.
philgoddard Jan 21, 2013:
It's nothing to do with credits. This is a TV commercial. I'm wondering whether it means "closing super", the super being the tagline that appears onscreen. Could you tell us what it says after "la siguiente", Javier? That should confirm whether I'm right or wrong.
Also, I don't know whether this affects your translation, but we don't say "expose", we say "pitch", and "commercial spots" is a tautology: commercials or spots, but not both.

Extra closing

“Sobre-cierre” (actually with hyphen in Spanish) is the extra conclusion/end/closing of a spot, i.e. an additional end with usually a funny or ironical touch.

En esta etapa se usa con mucha más frecuencia el "sobre-cierre" al final del spot, a manera de "ñapa" o extra jocoso.

closing credits/end credits

He seems to be talking about the visual content - what is going on behind the closing credits - maybe 'closing credit sequence' would work including both the credits and the graphics.
Example sentence:

Closing credits or end credits are added at the end of a motion picture, television program, or video game to list the cast and crew involved in the production.

Amazingly, the end credit sequence for Rango was done in just a few weeks

post-credits scene

I think this could be what you need.

A post-credits scene (also called a stinger, tag, coda, or credit cookie), is a short clip that appears after some or all of the closing credits of a movie have run. It is usually either included for humor (where it may be called a “stinger gag”) or to set up a possible sequel, as well as to encourage the audience to stay through the credits during the theatrical release.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene

A name for any post-credits scene. It is also known as a "tag" or "credit cookie".
Often used to provide some kind of Sequel Hook, but may also be there just as a final gift to the audience, such as a comedy giving one final joke and punchline to the audience, or a dramatic work showing that maybe the guy who made a Heroic Sacrifice is Not Quite Dead. Or maybe just answering the question of What Happened to the Mouse?. There may even be a selection of Hilarious Outtakes, or a special ending screen.
