Israelite Family Keeps the Passover Meal
A father breaks unleavened bread over a roasted lamb at a table while his wife and children gather close. Blood marks the doorframe behind them at night.
Prompt
Deuteronomy 16: At the going down of the sun an Israelite family keeps the Passover, eating the roasted lamb with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction. A father breaks a flat loaf of unleavened bread while his wife and two children gather close around a low table with the roasted lamb and bitter herbs, all large and central, their faces lit by an oil lamp and the warm sunset glow through the doorway. Solemn, grateful remembrance of the night they came out of Egypt. 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.
