Uzza Falls Dead Beside the Ark

Prompt

1 Chronicles 13: At the threshing floor of Chidon the oxen stumble, Uzza puts out his hand to steady the Ark of God on the new cart, and the LORD strikes him so that he falls dead beside it; King David halts in fear and dismay. The Ark of the Covenant, a gold-covered chest with two golden cherubim facing each other on its mercy seat and its carrying poles, rides on a wooden ox cart at centre; Uzza collapses to the ground beside the cart, one hand still reaching toward it; King David, large in the foreground, has stopped mid-step with his lyre lowered, his face stricken with shock and fear. Behind them musicians with timbrels and cymbals frozen in silence on a threshing floor of packed earth, the hills of Judah under bright clear afternoon 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.
