Conclusion

The results show 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 below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.52, which is considered average. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt to a reasonable degree, but not exceptionally well.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.1, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic style of the prompt than it is at accurately capturing camera positions and shot composition.
