Gideon and His Men Blow Trumpets and Show Lamps
Gideon blows a ram's horn and raises a lit lamp at night with two men beside him, broken pitchers at their feet and the Midianite camp below.
Prompt
Judges 7: At the beginning of the middle watch Gideon and his three hundred men blow their trumpets, break their pitchers, hold up their lamps and cry, "The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon." Gideon, large and central, lifts a blazing torch in one hand and a ram's horn trumpet to his lips, broken clay pottery at his feet; two of his men beside him do the same. The bright torchlight glows warm gold on their faces against the deep blue night sky over the Midianite camp in the valley 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.
