Paul Raises Eutychus at Troas
Paul holds the young man Eutychus on the ground as he revives, while believers with oil lamps watch and an upper window glows above.
Prompt
Acts 20: at Troas Paul brings Eutychus back to life. In the lamplit courtyard at the foot of a three-storey house, Paul kneels large and central, embracing the young man Eutychus, who has fallen from the high window, as the youth opens his eyes and stirs back to life. Worried believers with oil lamps gather close around, their faces turning from grief to joy; above, the open upper window glows with many warm lamps against the deep blue night. 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.
