Camera Position:
- Score: 0.31
- Interpretation: This score is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. It suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
Shot Analysis:

- Interpretation: This score falls within the “good” range. It indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it to a decent degree.
Aesthetic Analysis:
- Score: 0.13
- Interpretation: This score is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. It suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall:
The model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition but struggles with camera positioning and aesthetic alignment. This suggests that the model might need further training to better understand and translate specific camera angles and desired aesthetics into its generated images.
