Prompt

2 Corinthians 13: 'Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace... Greet one another with an holy kiss.' At the close of the letter's reading in a Corinthian house church, two men who had quarrelled embrace and greet each other with the kiss of peace, large and central, faces moved; around them other believers clasp hands warmly, the reader still holding the rolled papyrus scroll. Warm golden evening lamp light, simple plastered room. The men wear wrapped head-cloths over their hair. 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.
