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 a 0.5, which falls within the “good” range (0.5 to 0.75). This means the model was able to accurately capture the camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.545, also within the “good” range. This indicates the model understood the scene described in the prompt and created an image that reflects that understanding.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.22, which is significantly lower than the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This suggests that the generated image didn’t quite match the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic style.
