A Messenger Brings Good News to Jerusalem

A young man with a satchel runs over a hilltop with his arms raised, shouting. Watchmen on Jerusalem's walls lift their arms below him.

Prompt

Isaiah 52: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings. A young Israelite messenger, large and central, runs over the crest of the mountains toward Jerusalem with his arms raised, shouting the good news, his sandalled feet dusty and his robe flying; below him, watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem lift their arms and shout for joy. Brilliant morning sun over the hills of Judah, a triumphant mood. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
