AI's Camera Eye: A Work in Progress with Ideogram-v2

The world of filmmaking and photography is built on the power of camera positions and shot composition. These elements, often referred to as ‘camera language,’ are crucial in conveying emotions, building tension, and guiding the viewer’s attention. A recent experiment with a generative AI model explored its ability to translate these cinematic concepts into visual reality. The model was tasked with creating images based on specific camera positions and shot descriptions, such as ’tracking shot’ or ‘heroic silhouette.’ The results were intriguing, revealing both strengths and weaknesses in the AI’s understanding of cinematic language.
