Peter Dictates a Letter to Silvanus
Peter speaks with a raised hand at a wooden table while Silvanus writes with a reed pen on a papyrus scroll beside an oil lamp.
Prompt
1 Peter 1: Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, writes 'to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia' by the hand of Silvanus. In a simple upper room of a house in a great Roman city, Peter sits large and central at a wooden table, leaning forward and speaking earnestly with one hand raised, while Silvanus beside him writes with a reed pen on a papyrus scroll (the writing too small to read). Warm afternoon sunlight streams through a window onto them; a clay oil lamp and an inkpot on the table; earnest, tender mood. 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.
