Conclusion
The generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but very well in terms of aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t always accurately translate the intended camera positions from the prompt into the generated image.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model generally understood the scene described in the prompt and created images that reflected the intended shot type.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.32, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated images closely matched the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and translating aesthetic elements from prompts, but it could benefit from further development in accurately capturing camera positions and shot types.
