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 a 0.4, indicating a moderate ability to follow the camera position instructions in the prompt. This is considered okay, as a score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.51, indicating a moderate ability to understand and execute the shot composition described in the prompt. This is also considered okay, as a score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.29, indicating a significant difference between the expected aesthetic and the actual aesthetic of the generated image. This score is considered very good, as a score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good. This suggests that the model struggled to capture the desired aesthetic, which was likely “Symmetry and Patterns”.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in achieving the desired aesthetic.
