The Master Shot · the crossing
Abbey Road, 1969: the cover looks arriving at last, but as the four representations (Tommy Nutter tailoring, one in denim), moving into single file. They approach the far curb; punctuation crossings accelerate, eras layering over one another.
The Assigned Scene · the montage
The representations approach the far curb. The fast human crossings (kids, protesters, dancers, gatherings) accelerate and layer, all thirteen eras briefly present at once as the song gathers to its end.

Archival & References
The final chorus, arriving on the Abbey Road era. The four walking single-file reads as a procession, an exit: Abbey Road was the last album they recorded together, made knowing it was the end. Keep the humans and the representations in their separate languages even as the cutting speeds up.
