Joseph Interprets Dreams in the Prison
Joseph sits between two seated prisoners in a stone cell and speaks with one hand raised, with a vine of grapes and a basket of bread beside them.
Prompt
Genesis 40: in the Egyptian prison, Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh's chief butler and chief baker. Joseph sits large and central on a stone bench, leaning forward and speaking earnestly, one hand raised, as the two troubled royal servants sit before him listening intently, the butler hopeful and the baker anxious. Bright shafts of sunlight fall through a high barred window into the stone cell. The mood is attentive, hopeful and solemn. 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.
