Prompt

1 Samuel 10: At the edge of the city in the early morning, Samuel takes a vial of oil and pours it on Saul's head, anointing him captain over the LORD's inheritance. Saul kneels large and central, head bowed, eyes closed, oil running through his hair, his hands open on his knees. Samuel stands close beside him, large in frame, tipping a small clay vial of oil over Saul's head, his other hand raised in blessing. Simple open hillside path outside the town walls, no one else present. Soft pink-gold sunrise light; sacred, intimate and quiet mood. 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.
