Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera positions, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.33, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, also below the “good” range. This indicates that while the model understood the scene to some extent, it didn’t perfectly translate the prompt’s description into the generated image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.13, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic was quite close to the expected aesthetic, despite the shortcomings in camera position and shot analysis.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding the scene and achieving the desired aesthetic, but needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera positions and shot composition.
