I have a photo I want to zoom in on. How can I do that without the picture expanding?

I am working in a timeline that's 1920x1080. I'm working with some photos that aren't as large as that, and there is black space on the screen when I use them. I want to be able to zoom on them but I don't want the total area of the photo to get larger i.e. I want the amount of black space to be the same.

To get a bit of movement on the photo, I increase the scale. However, that means the photo expands a bit over the screen. Again, I don't want the total area of the photo on screen to increase.

One way to prevent this is to put down slugs on top of the photo that cover all 4 sides. Is there another, slightly easier way, of doing this?
 
If it were me, I would be nesting the photo in another sequence, performing the zoom in that sequence and then placing that sequence in the master timeline, scaled down to whatever final size I wanted.
