The opening scene is meant to make way for or set up the entire film. For the final project, we are meant to leave the viewers with something to expect next or to create anticipation, and excitement. There were multiple ways that I have done this to ensure that the viewer will be engaged in wanting to find out more.
One way I did this was by introducing the main villain first. This would in turn show who the protagonist will be going up against in the resolution arc of his story. It will also engage the viewer to want to know about the villain's character arc and past, which they may learn about them later in the film.
Another way I have created a cliffhanger was by showing the bond/friendship created by Tim and Miguel. This may be seen as the "student and mentor" relationship, in which the audience may want to see how far this helps the student progress. The final part of the opening in and of itself is entertaining, as it shows Tim on his way out and Miguel reminds him to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, which shows that Miguel already cares about him.
