The Levite and His Concubine Arrive in Gibeah
A man stands beside a saddled donkey with a woman seated on it, as an old man with a hoe on his shoulder approaches. The town square is lit by a low sunset.
Prompt
Judges 19: At sunset a Levite and his concubine come to Gibeah of Benjamin, and no man takes them in until an old man coming from his work in the field offers them lodging. In the empty town square the Levite stands beside his saddled donkey, and his concubine sits upon it, both large and central, weary and uneasy; an old man with a hoe over his shoulder approaches kindly from the side. Long warm sunset light and shadows on the stone houses of Gibeah; calm and non-violent. 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.
