Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to accurately capture the camera positions described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.425, also considered good. This suggests that the model understood the scene described in the prompt and was able to create an image that reflected the intended shot type.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.06, which is far from the ideal range of -0.2 to 0.1. This indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shot types, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
