Did lots of test photos adjusting composition, which I wanted to show a little of the wall above the photo, and also some of the floor to leave space for animations which use the floor to move to the next photo.
I also adjusted the white balance and decided on 7000k. This also twinned with the lighting, which is proving quite difficult. It must not create a shine on the photo, and I would like the animation to have quite a dark, nostalgic, looking-through-someone's-memories feel to it. I have set up an orangey lamp and smaller more artificial spotlight, which I will have to move around with the animation to illuminate things as they happen.
With the camera set up like this, (not zoomed in at all) the individual elements in the photos that are actually being animated (such as the boat in my test video below) are very small and I'm concerned that it will be difficult for the viewer to spot them being animated. And this is at the point where the camera is closest to the photo throughout the whole animation. So, this would only become more of a problem throughout the animation. Here is my test video of the transitional animation between 'Day 1' to 'Day 2'.

Can always print the photos off again, larger with a smaller border. Or, I could zoom in, sacrificing some of the wall above the photo, and zoom in even more when the camera is furthest from the photos.
