Conclusion
The results show that 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 0.43, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that while the model generally understood the camera positions described in the prompt, there were some discrepancies between the intended and actual camera angles in the generated image.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.5, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to successfully translate the prompt’s description of the scene into a visually coherent image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is significantly lower than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image did not quite match the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
