Jesus Calls Simon and Andrew by the Sea
Two fishermen stand in shallow water casting a net while Jesus stands on the pebbly shore and beckons. A wooden boat rests behind them.
Prompt
Mark 1: Jesus calls Simon and Andrew by the Sea of Galilee. Simon and Andrew stand knee-deep in the bright shallows, large and central, in the act of casting a wide circular fishing net that spreads in the air; they turn their heads toward Jesus, who stands on the pebbly shore close by, beckoning with one hand: "Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." A wooden fishing boat rests on the water behind, calm blue lake and hills in clear early-morning light. 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.
