Similarly, I have chosen these particular shots to try and capture myself as I believe that the London streets and couples walking is something that further conveys the urban and love based persona, of which I primarily aim to build upon throughout my video.
I have chosen these particular shots to give me a template to use in my video as I believe that firstly Regents Park is a very high class nicely preserved area that a lot of couples go to for a day out. This is something that obviously falls in accordance with my video as it is based around the male and female character having days out together and the male character reminiscing about them.
My main plot of my video revolves around the concept of the male character waking up next to his girlfriend (the opening shot). This then sees them spend a day together doing all the things they liked to do, such as cinema and walks in the park. However, it comes to the audiences knowledge that it is simply from the male characters perspective of him reminiscing about the times his girlfriend and him had before she died (something that becomes apparent at the end of the video).
Subsequently, throughout the clip it has certain flashbacks to the times he remember the most, of which are of course the happier times of their relationship as there is nothing to suggest they had any issues. Therefore I felt flashbacks rather than a 'it was all a dream' concept would have a better effect for the audience in them further understanding the plot of the video, as well as avoiding that common cleche.
I have chosen to further do all shots mainly from the male perspective to further accentuate the idea of the flashbacks being from his point-of-view which also falls in sync with the concept of the song as it too is in the male characters point-of-view.
It is clear the similarities between these shots. I first saw the Abbey Road shot in a Media lesson at school and along with the influence of my research it gave me the idea of this particular shot.
Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing programme developed and published by Adobe. Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is the 12th Major Release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. There are two versions of Photoshop: Basic and Extended, with Extended having extra features available. Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite offerings except Design Standard, which has the Basic version.
In 1987, Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. This program, called Display, caught the attention of his brother John Knoll, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended Thomas turn it into a fully-fledged image editing program.
Thomas took a six month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program, which had been renamed ImagePro. Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a "total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped" this way.
During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe. Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988. While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing program code. Photoshop 1.0 was released in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively.
