Opening the movie was the hardest part of the film according to director Sir Peter Jackson. During the editing phase, he had compiled a lengthy prologue that served as a "crash course in Middle-Earth history", but it got so long and overstuffed with information and names that it nearly collapsed under its own weight. Jackson decided to do away with the prologue entirely, opting to open with a monologue by Bilbo Baggins about Hobbits, and divulging the necessary background information through expository dialogue by Gandalf in the rest of the movie. However, upon screening the finished film, New Line thought the beginning was too confusing, so they insisted on a brief 2-minute prologue, against Jackson's wishes. So it was after production had wrapped and Jackson was recording the musical score with Howard Shore in London that Jackson and editor John Gilbert were huddled in a corner with an Avid machine, hastily compiling a prologue from the footage with which he had originally dispensed. They decided to keep things manageable by telling the prologue from the perspective of the One Ring, ending up with a 7-minute prologue that New Line begrudgingly accepted. Bilbo's monologue about Hobbits would later become the second scene of the Extended Edition of the film ("Concerning Hobbits").
