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 0.615, also within the “good” range. This indicates the model understood the scene described in the prompt and created an image that reflected the intended shot type.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.14, which is significantly lower than the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shot types, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
