Prompt

Judges 4: Sisera, captain of Jabin's army, flees on foot to the tent of Jael, and she goes out to meet him, saying, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not." Jael stands at the open flap of her goat-hair tent, large and central, holding a skin of milk, her face calm and watchful; the exhausted Sisera in his scale armour stumbles toward her, looking back over his shoulder. Golden late-afternoon light over the plain, a distant dust cloud on the horizon. 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.
