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 0.35, indicating a moderate ability to accurately translate camera positions from the prompt to the generated image. This falls within the “good” range (0.5-0.75), suggesting the model generally captured the intended camera angles and perspectives.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.565, also within the “good” range. This means the model was able to understand and translate the scene description in the prompt into a visually coherent image, but there might be some minor discrepancies between the intended and generated shot composition.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.16, which is outside the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt. The model might have struggled to capture the desired mood, style, or visual elements.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in achieving the desired aesthetic.
