Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, indicating it performed moderately well in understanding the scene described in the prompt. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.22, indicating it performed very well in capturing the intended aesthetic. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and capturing the desired aesthetic than it is at accurately representing the camera position.
