TIE-fighter — classic wide establishing shot
TIE · Wide
01 · Composition

Centered, with air

Dead center, with deliberate negative space above and below. The headroom is the menace. Crop tighter and it becomes a vehicle photograph.

02 · Scale cue

Cockpit at 4%

The cockpit window measures roughly 4% of the frame width. Below that, the ship reads as a model on a plate; above, as a closeup. Four percent is the establishing-shot sweet spot.
