John the Baptist Points Out the Lamb of God
John the Baptist in rough clothing points toward Jesus walking along a riverbank, while two disciples stand beside John.
Prompt
John 1: "Behold the Lamb of God." On the sunlit bank of the Jordan at Bethabara, John the Baptist, in his rough camel-hair garment and leather girdle, large and central, stretches out his arm and points toward Jesus, who walks along the riverbank a short way off; beside John, his disciple Andrew turns to look at Jesus with dawning wonder. Tall reeds, the shining river and the pale wilderness hills behind in clear 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.
