AI's Eye for Shots: Good at Camera Positions, Struggling with Aesthetics with Imagen-v3-fast

The world of filmmaking is filled with technical and artistic elements that work together to create a compelling visual experience. One crucial aspect is the camera position, which plays a significant role in shaping the narrative and conveying emotions. Dramatic camera positions, such as low-angle shots, high-angle shots, and close-ups, are often used to emphasize power, vulnerability, or intimacy. For example, a low-angle shot can make a character appear larger and more imposing, while a high-angle shot can create a sense of vulnerability or isolation. This analysis explores the ability of a generative AI model to understand and implement these dramatic camera positions, as well as its capacity to capture the desired aesthetic of the scene.

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 Analysis: The score of 0.4 indicates that the model’s ability to react to camera positions in the prompt is average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The score of 0.52 indicates that the model’s ability to understand the scene in the prompt and create an appropriate shot is good. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The score of 0.03 indicates that the model’s ability to match the expected aesthetic of the image is below average. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding and implementing the technical aspects of the prompt (camera position and shot) than the aesthetic aspects.
