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 0.45, also within the “good” range. This indicates the model understood the scene described in the prompt and created a shot that reflected it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.11, which is considered “very good” (between -0.2 and 0.1). This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and scene composition, but it excels at capturing the desired aesthetic.
