Conclusion

The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding camera positions and shot composition, but struggled with aesthetic expectations. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored a 0.4, indicating a fair understanding of camera positions. This means the generated image’s camera position was somewhat different from what was requested in the prompt. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.49, also indicating a fair understanding of shot composition. This means the generated image’s shot type (e.g., close-up, wide shot) was somewhat different from what was requested 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 a 0.2, indicating a very good ability to match the expected aesthetic. This means the generated image’s overall style and visual appeal were quite close to what was envisioned in the prompt. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.

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