A woman kneels by a clay oven lifting a bowl of dough while a man beside her breaks a flat round of unleavened bread. Clay jars and a lamp are in the room.
Prompt
1 Corinthians 5: 'Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump.' Inside a simple first-century Corinthian home, a believing mother kneels by the clay oven and lifts out a bowl of old sour leavened dough to carry it away, while her husband beside her breaks a fresh flat round of unleavened bread; both large and close in the frame, faces serious and hopeful. Warm lamp light and morning sun from a small window, clean swept stone floor, clay jars on a shelf. The man wears a wrapped head-cloth over his 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.
