Conclusion

The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, falling within the “good” range. This indicates the model successfully understood the scene described in the prompt and created an image that reflects it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is outside the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests the generated image’s aesthetic deviated from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and camera positions, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
