Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model’s ability to accurately interpret and implement camera positions in the generated images is decent, but could be improved.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, also slightly below the “good” range. This indicates that the model is fairly good at understanding the scene described in the prompt and translating it into a visual shot, but there’s room for improvement in accurately capturing the intended scene.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is significantly above the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and implementing camera positions and shot descriptions, but needs improvement in generating images that match the intended aesthetic.
