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:
- Score: 0.5
- Interpretation: This score falls within the “good” range (0.5 to 0.75). It indicates that the model was able to accurately capture the camera position described in the prompt, but there’s room for improvement to reach the “very good” level.
Shot Analysis:
- Score: 0.57
- Interpretation: This score also falls within the “good” range. It suggests that the model understood the scene described in the prompt and generated an image with a shot composition that aligns well with the prompt’s intent.
Aesthetic Analysis:
- Score: 0.18
- Interpretation: This score is significantly lower than the ideal range of -0.2 to 0.1. It indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt. This suggests that the model might need further training to better understand and replicate the desired aesthetic style.
Overall:
The model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shot composition, but needs improvement in capturing the intended aesthetic.
