Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and executing camera positions and shot composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.45, which falls below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.57, which is within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene and create a shot that was generally consistent with the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.1, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was quite close to the expected aesthetic, despite the camera position and shot analysis scores.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of scene composition and shot types, but needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera positions. The model’s ability to achieve the desired aesthetic is a positive sign.
