OK, Ben, maybe this will help clarify. The top photo is what the page actually looks like assembled with the transparencies, etc. Since this scene involves assembling things, all of the transparencies can be flipped up or down as needed. Also, more transparencies can be added to obtain the appropriate messiness (or deleted to make the page cleaner). The bottom page (of the two above) is the same as the top page but with more transparencies. Also, remember most of these items will be shot tight so that people can read the text. A full page is the equivalent of a really wide shot. In fact, I don't think people will have a sense of the individual pages at all, just a sequence of images gradually getting denser over time.
