A Fugitive Runs to the City of Refuge

Prompt

Joshua 20: A man who has killed someone unawares flees to a city of refuge and declares his cause at the entrance of the gate before the elders. The fugitive, large and central, runs breathless up the road to the stone city gate, his arms outstretched, while two elders seated in the gateway rise to receive him and protect him. The walled hilltop city glows in bright morning light, the open road behind him. 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.
