A Family Looks to the Sunrise Over a City
A father, mother and daughter embrace on an olive-covered hillside, looking up toward the rising sun above a city in the distance.
Prompt
Romans 8: "The whole creation groaneth... waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God"; "nothing shall separate us from the love of God." A young Roman Christian family, a father, a mother and their small daughter, stand large and central together on a hillside above Rome at sunrise, arms around one another, faces lifted in quiet, unshakable hope toward the rising sun that floods the waiting world with golden light. Olive trees, morning mist over the valley and distant city roofs below. The father 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.
