Conclusion

The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding camera positions and scene composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, indicating a moderate ability to follow the camera position instructions in the prompt. This falls short of the “good” range (0.5-0.75) but is not a significant issue.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.56, which is within the “good” range. This suggests the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and translate it into a visually coherent image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is outside the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This indicates a noticeable difference between the expected aesthetic and the actual aesthetic of the generated image. The model may have struggled to capture the desired mood, style, or visual elements.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and executing camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in achieving the desired aesthetic.
