Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding and reacting to camera positions and scene composition.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position Analysis: The score of 0.3 indicates that the model’s ability to follow camera position instructions is below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Shot Analysis: The score of 0.515 suggests that the model is average at understanding and creating the scene as described in the prompt. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The score of 0.03 is very good, indicating that the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.
Overall: While the model is good at capturing the desired aesthetic, it struggles with accurately interpreting camera positions and scene composition. This suggests that the model might need further training to better understand and respond to these aspects of the prompt.
