Prompt

Psalm 99: Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar. The prophet Samuel stands large and central on the hilltop of Mizpeh, arms lifted high in prayer beside a stone altar where a young lamb is offered and smoke rises; behind him a great luminous cloud fills the sky and brilliant bolts of lightning strike toward the distant Philistine army. A few Israelite elders kneel near him. Awe-filled golden storm 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.
