Conclusion
The generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position, pretty good in terms of shot analysis, and very good in terms of aesthetic analysis. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.38, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This means the model didn’t quite capture the intended camera positions as well as it could have.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt and create a shot that was fairly close to what was expected.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.23, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic and shot composition of the prompt than it is at accurately capturing the intended camera positions.
