Returning Families Rebuild a City With Singing
A father sets a limestone block in a wall while his wife and children clap and smile. Priests play cymbals and a trumpet behind them above the city.
Prompt
Jeremiah 30: 'I will bring again the captivity of the tents... and the city shall be builded upon her own heap... And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry.' Returning Judean families, large and central, rebuild a city on its ruined mound, a father setting a fresh limestone block in place while his wife and children sing and clap beside him. Radiant morning light, blue sky. 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.
