Digital Composoting Assignment 2 - Street Scene

For our second task for Digital Compositing,  we were asked to do a 'Street Scene' of our own choice. With this task, it was expected of us to display all the skills that we have so far learnt on Photoshop, by creating a realistic street scene, using our own image as the backdrop, and then the incorporation of multiple stock images from the internet.

As I was rather excited for this task, I went instantly to think of idea's, and the first one that came to my head was the industrial revolution. Currently living in Stafford, the town centre has many buildings from the victorian era, which would be perfect to create a Victorian-esque scene, depicting the industrial revolution that took place many years ago. Providing I took a well com-positioned background photograph, I felt that I had many elements I could work with!

Some of the  elements I visualised included... 
Victorian Chimneys
Horse & Cart
Lamp Posts
Victorian Factories
Layers of Smoke & Dust
Victorian Characters With Top Hats ect...

Here is a simple mock up of the idea I had in mind for the project... 

Here are images from the internet that I used as a part of my inspiration for this Task....
