Conclusion

The generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but exceeded expectations in aesthetic analysis.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position Analysis: The score of 0.32 indicates the model’s ability to understand and implement camera positions in the prompt 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 0.46 suggests the model’s understanding of the scene and its ability to create the desired shot is below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The score of 0.285 is very good, indicating the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.

Overall, the model shows promise in capturing the desired aesthetic but struggles with accurately interpreting camera positions and shot descriptions.
