Conclusion

The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding camera positions and shots, but struggled with aesthetic expectations. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored a 0.4, indicating a fair understanding of camera positions. This means the generated images were somewhat different from the intended camera positions described in the prompts. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.61, indicating a good understanding of shot types. This means the generated images were generally consistent with the intended shot types described in the prompts. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.28, indicating a fair ability to meet aesthetic expectations. This means the generated images were somewhat different from the intended aesthetic described in the prompts. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding camera positions and shot types, but needs improvement in meeting aesthetic expectations.
