@ashthorp Here‘s an wild idea: if you rearrange all the images backwards and start from the inside of the claustrophobic and somber spacestation you can set the mood first, by creating a sense of mystery and dread. Then we get closer to the Earth (feeling of hope) and reveal, that this place is not the hopeful place we were expecting as viewers to get to. As it is raging a war. We end up with the wide shot of the earth and place a tiny title (»Left«) on top of it, to visualize how the crew was left behind, hovering around Earth’s orbit. They feel somewhat tethered and detached at the same time. And as a play on words you could stretch out the text subtlety to the left side by increasing the character spacing. That also reinforces the idea of things falling apart, drifting away, etc
