Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and implementing camera positions and shot composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.5, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to accurately capture the camera positions described in the prompt, but there’s room for improvement to reach the “very good” level.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.67, also within the “good” range. This suggests that the model understood the scene and its elements well enough to create a shot that aligns with the prompt, but it could be even better at capturing the nuances of the scene.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.13, which is considered “very good” in this context. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was quite close to the expected aesthetic, despite the model’s struggles with camera position and shot analysis.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of the prompt’s instructions, but it could benefit from further training to improve its ability to accurately capture camera positions and shot composition while maintaining the desired aesthetic.
