Prompt

Isaiah 7: Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field... Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God. The prophet Isaiah stands large and central beside a stone aqueduct channel at the upper pool outside Jerusalem's walls, his hand raised as he speaks earnestly to King Ahaz of Judah, who stands in rich purple robes and a gold circlet with an uneasy, evasive face, turning away. Isaiah's young son Shear-jashub stands at his side. Fullers' white cloths are spread to dry on the field behind. Bright clear morning light. 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.
