Prompt

Judges 11: Jephthah returns victorious to his house at Mizpeh, and behold, his only daughter comes out to meet him with timbrels and with dances. Jephthah, large and central, tears his cloak in anguish as he remembers his vow; before him his daughter, joyful, dances out of the doorway with a timbrel raised. Golden afternoon light on the stone house and the hills of Gilead. 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.
