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 0.48, which is considered okay. This means the model’s ability to understand and implement camera positions in the generated image is slightly below average.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, which is considered good. This indicates the model is able to understand and translate the scene described in the prompt into a visually coherent shot.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.265, which is considered okay. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviates somewhat from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

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