Conclusion

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

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.1, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.44, which is slightly below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good. This suggests the model had some difficulty understanding the scene described in the prompt.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is very good. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 indicates a close match between the expected and actual aesthetic of the image. This suggests the model was able to create an image that visually aligned with the desired aesthetic.
