Part 2 of my animation is a pan from the back of the star destroyers into the long ranged shot of the x-wing entering the scene. The x-wing enters from the top left of the screen, I chose to enter from that angle as the viewers eyes, by nature starts at the left of the screen.
In terms of the movement of the x-wing, since it is not a smooth flying ship as well as agile, I had to create a motion path for it to follow. On top of this motion path, I have a quick zoom into a closer ranged shot of the x-wing which is inspired from the famous flight scene from 'Man of Steel'. This demonstrates the quick suddenness of the x-wing entering the scene and also showing the audience that it is now the focus.

The camera then follows the x-wing in a dynamic shot, following the flight path of the x-wing. At on point the camera stops in front of the x-wing which leaves the screen empty for a split second before the x-wing zooms past again. This is inspired by the Top Gear race track. In Top Gear, any time someone went passed the straighter part of the track, the camera would stay still until the car speeds past. This demonstrates the speed in which the x-wing is currently flying at.
