Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and implementing camera positions and shot composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.38, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately translate the camera positions described in the prompt into the generated image.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.505, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.1, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic, despite the camera position issues.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition but needs improvement in accurately implementing camera positions. The model’s ability to achieve the desired aesthetic is a positive sign.
