Conclusion

The results show that 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 0.2, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.5, which is considered average. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt reasonably well, but there might be some discrepancies between the intended shot and the generated image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style, despite the other shortcomings.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic style than the camera position and shot composition. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to accurately interpret and implement camera positions and shot types.
