Eliphaz Speaks to Job by the Campfire
Eliphaz sits by a desert campfire and points up at rising sparks while Job, in torn sackcloth with sores, listens.
Prompt
Job 5: Eliphaz tells Job that man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward, and urges him not to despise the chastening of the Almighty. At night beside a crackling campfire in the desert, Eliphaz the Temanite sits large and central, leaning forward and pointing up at a shower of bright golden sparks spiralling into the dark blue sky, his face earnest and lit warmly by the flames; across the fire Job, in torn sackcloth with sores on his skin, listens with weary, doubtful eyes. 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.
