Prompt

2 Kings 11: The seven-year-old prince Joash is crowned king in the temple court by Jehoiada the priest. Jehoiada, large and central, an elder priest in white linen garments, gently places a gold crown on the head of the little boy Joash, who stands beside a great temple pillar holding a small scroll of the testimony. Around them temple guards in a protective ring raise the old spears and round shields of King David, and trumpeters lift their horns. At the edge of the frame Queen Athaliah bursts in, tearing her royal robe in fury and crying Treason. Brilliant morning sunlight in the stone temple court. 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.
