Dathan and Abiram Fall as the Earth Opens

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Two men step back from a great crack in the desert ground as it splits open near their tents. Their frightened families watch from the tent doors.

Prompt

Deuteronomy 11: Moses recalls how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up Dathan and Abiram with their tents. Dathan and Abiram stand large and central at the edge of a great crack splitting open the desert ground, their faces filled with terror as the earth gives way beneath their feet and their tent collapses into the chasm behind them. Dust and rocks fall into the opening under a bright, stark sky. 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.
