Conclusion
The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding camera positions and scene composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.31, indicating a moderate ability to follow the camera position instructions in the prompt. This falls short of the “good” range (0.5-0.75) but is not significantly bad.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, which falls within the “good” range. This suggests the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and translate it into a visually coherent image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is slightly above the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated somewhat from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and executing camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in achieving the desired aesthetic.
