Conclusion
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 0.48, indicating a good understanding of camera positions. This means the generated images closely matched the camera angles and perspectives described in the prompts.
- Shot Analysis: The model achieved a 0.43, also indicating good performance. This suggests the model effectively translated the scene descriptions from the prompts into the generated images.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.32, which is considered average. This means the generated images didn’t quite match the expected aesthetic style as closely as desired.
Overall, the model demonstrates a strong ability to interpret camera positions and scene descriptions, but needs improvement in capturing the intended aesthetic style.
