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 0.36, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera positions described in the prompts.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.63, falling within the “good” range. This suggests that the model was able to understand the scene and create shots that were generally aligned with the prompt.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.28, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This indicates a significant difference between the expected aesthetic and the actual aesthetic of the generated images. The model likely struggled to create images that matched the desired aesthetic style.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene composition and camera positions, but needs improvement in generating images that meet the desired aesthetic criteria.
