Inspiration for my opening sequence

The main inspiration for my opening sequence was a scene from the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which the four hobbits are pursued by a mysterious rider and end up having to hide under a tree as they cannot outrun him. The scene culminates in a tense climax in which the hobbits are almost found, but narrowly escape. I chose it as an influence on my opening sequence as it builds up suspense brilliantly and I thought that it would therefore be a good model for the opening scene of a film.

My opening sequence features a very similar scene based on this one, and it is the climax, serving to make the audience want to watch more.
