Conclusion

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 0.35, 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 0.51, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.14, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and achieving desired aesthetics, but needs improvement in accurately capturing camera positions.
