Five Wise Virgins Enter the Wedding Feast

Prompt

Matthew 25: the five wise virgins go in with the bridegroom. At midnight before the open, lamp-lit doorway of a wedding house, five young women in white festive garments and veils, large and central, lift their brightly burning clay oil lamps with joyful faces as they hurry in to the marriage feast; warm golden light and garlands spill from the door. In the dark street behind, the five foolish virgins hold out their empty, unlit lamps in dismay. Night sky of deep blue with stars, the scene glowing with lamplight. 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.
