Prompt

James 1: 'Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.' James, leader of the church in Jerusalem, kneels large and central in the doorway of a poor stone house, handing a basket of bread and a jar of oil to a grieving widow while her two small children cling to her robe and look up at him. Narrow Jerusalem lane of pale limestone behind, bright morning sunlight; compassion and humility. 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.
