Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera positions, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.28, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.46, also below the “good” range. This suggests that while the model understood the scene to some extent, it didn’t fully translate the prompt’s description into the generated image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.26, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall: The model demonstrates a decent understanding of the scene and camera positions, but needs improvement in accurately translating the prompt’s description into the generated image. The model excels in capturing the desired aesthetic.
