A Man Flees to the City of Refuge

Prompt

Deuteronomy 19: A man who killed his neighbour unawares flees to a city of refuge, that he may live. The frightened man runs toward the viewer along a prepared road, large and central, his cloak flying behind him and a broken axe handle still in his hand, while on a hill behind him the gates of a walled city of refuge stand open in the sunlight. Bright clear daylight, dust rising from his feet, urgency and hope. 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.
