Prompt

Psalm 47 (for the sons of Korah): "O clap your hands, all you people; shout to God with the voice of triumph... God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises." On the summit of Zion, a Levite in white linen stands large and central blowing a long curved ram's horn shofar toward the sky, his cheeks full and his eyes closed in fervour. Around and behind him joyful Israelite men, women and children clap their hands over their heads and shout in triumph. Brilliant midday sunlight and a deep blue sky with streaming white clouds; the walls of Jerusalem are visible below. 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.
