Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of 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 below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera position in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.475, also below the “good” range. This suggests that the model had some difficulty understanding the scene described in the prompt and translating it into the generated image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.19, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrated a decent understanding of the scene and camera position, but could benefit from improvements in accurately capturing the intended camera angle. The model excelled in generating an image with the desired aesthetic.
