Prompt

Psalm 119: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. A young Israelite man walks large and central along a narrow rocky mountain path at night, holding a small clay oil lamp low before his feet so its warm golden glow lights each step, a rolled scroll tucked into his sash; around him the deep blue night and steep hills, with a faint glow of dawn on the horizon. Quiet, devoted, guided. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
