Conclusion
The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic expectations. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.25, indicating it’s not very good at reacting to camera positions 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 0.44, which is okay. It shows some ability to understand the scene described in the prompt, but it’s not particularly strong. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is pretty good. This means the generated image’s aesthetic is relatively close to what was expected, though it could be better. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.
Overall, the model needs improvement in understanding camera positions and scene composition. It’s better at capturing the desired aesthetic, but still has room for improvement.
