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 0.35, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately translate the camera position described in the prompt into the generated image.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.56, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.35, which is considered below average. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding the scene and shot composition, but needs improvement in accurately capturing the desired camera position and aesthetic.
