Conclusion

The analysis shows that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to accurately capture the camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.595, also considered good. This suggests that the model understood the scene described in the prompt and was able to create a shot that reflected that understanding.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is not very good. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera position and shot composition, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
