Conclusion
The results of the analysis show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and implementing camera positions and shots, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.47, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that while the model generally understood the camera positions described in the prompt, there were some discrepancies between the intended and actual camera positions in the generated image.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.565, which falls within the “good” range. This suggests that the model was able to successfully translate the shot descriptions in the prompt into the generated image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.17, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shots, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
