Conclusion
The results of the analysis show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. This suggests the model may not be very responsive to camera position prompts.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, which is slightly below average. This means the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt to some degree, but not perfectly.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.13, which is very good. This indicates that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic, despite the other shortcomings.
Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the scene and camera position. This suggests that the model may need further training to improve its ability to interpret and respond to these aspects of the prompt.
