Conclusion

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

• Camera Position: The model scored a 0.4, 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 a 0.515, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand and implement the shot types described in the prompt reasonably well.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.15, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic, despite the issues with camera position and shot analysis.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and implementing shot types, but needs improvement in accurately translating camera positions. The model’s ability to achieve the desired aesthetic is a positive sign, suggesting that it can learn to better understand and implement the other aspects of the prompt with further training.
