Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding and reacting to camera positions and scene composition.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position Analysis: The score of 0.2 indicates that the model’s ability to understand and implement camera positions in the generated image is below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Shot Analysis: The score of 0.475 suggests that the model is slightly better at understanding the scene composition than camera positions. While still below the good range of 0.5 to 0.75, it shows some ability to interpret the prompt’s description of the scene.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The score of 0.03 indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic is close to the expected aesthetic described in the prompt. This is a very good result, as a score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.
Overall, the model shows some strengths in understanding the aesthetic desired, but struggles with accurately implementing camera positions and scene composition.
