Joshua Receives the Lord's Charge

Prompt

Joshua 1: After the death of Moses, Joshua stands alone on a rocky height above the Jordan valley and hears the LORD's charge, "Be strong and of a good courage." Joshua is large and central, seen from the waist up, holding the scroll of the book of the law against his chest, his face lifted in resolve toward a shaft of warm golden light breaking through the clouds, the presence of the LORD shown only as light. Behind him the green Jordan valley and the hills of Canaan stretch away under a clear dawn sky. 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.
