The results 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 0.1, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. This suggests the model may not be very sensitive to camera position instructions.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.48, which is considered good. This means the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt and create an image that reflects it fairly well.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.08, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic, indicating the model is capable of producing visually appealing results.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and creating visually pleasing images. However, it needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera position.
