Prompt

Titus 3: 'Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.' On the stone quay of a Cretan harbour, Titus embraces Apollos in farewell and hands him a well-filled travel bag of provisions, while Zenas the lawyer, an older man in a fine cloak holding a scroll case, waits beside them; behind them a Roman merchant ship with a furled sail is ready to sail. Titus and Apollos are large and central. Bright morning sun on the blue sea. Apollos wears a wrapped striped head-cloth and a plain dark brown wool mantle. Zenas wears a wrapped head-cloth over his 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.
