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 0.35, 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 0.515, 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 0.21, which is significantly below the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a decent understanding of camera positions and shot composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
