Paul Holds a Cracked Jar Glowing With Light
Paul holds a cracked clay jar with light shining through the cracks. Behind him a man is lowered over a wall in a basket, a man clings to wreckage in the sea, and a figure rises into bright clouds.
Prompt
The book of 2 Corinthians as a cinematic film poster. The apostle Paul, weary and scarred, holds a simple cracked clay jar with brilliant light pouring out through its cracks. Behind him the sufferings of his ministry: being lowered in a basket over the wall of Damascus at night; shipwrecked and adrift on the sea; beaten with rods; and in the sky a vision of being caught up into the third heaven. Darkness pierced by brilliant light. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film or a film poster. 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 on the main figures, subtle film grain. Composition like a movie one-sheet in portrait format: the main figures large and close in the upper and middle frame, the book's major events unfolding smaller behind and around them. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern or first-century clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large title can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
