project advice

Hello all, first post here so please be gentle. I am a mature A level student and I am trying to work out an image in order to duplicate some of the elements containedwithin it.


Credit to Cole Porter for the image above.

I am trying to photograph in a High Street, I have one single person sitting still, I would like the passing people to to blurred the same as in the image above.

I assumed that I would need to set an appropriate long exposure (I think I used anything between 10 and 30 seconds) and then a matching Fstop to keep the exposure correct. However, when I check my images you can barely see the passing people at all?!?!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated on a possible technique...
I have googled 'long exposure people' & ' how to blur movement' but so far i find mostly milky seas and pretty skies!!

Many thanks in advance.

Paul
