Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.56, which falls within the “good” range (0.5 to 0.75). This means the model was able to accurately capture the camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.68, also within the “good” range. This indicates the model understood the scene described in the prompt and created an image that reflects that understanding.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.3, which is significantly lower than the ideal range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
