A Father Tells the Passover Story at the Table

Prompt

Psalm 111: He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered... He sent redemption unto his people. An Israelite father sits large and central at the Passover table in his lamp-lit home at night, telling his wide-eyed son and daughter about the deliverance from Egypt as he holds up a round of unleavened bread; his wife smiles beside them, and on the table are roasted lamb, bitter herbs and a cup. Warm golden lamplight, reverent and joyful. 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.
