Conclusion

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

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.1, which is considered poor. This indicates a significant difference between the intended camera position in the prompt and the actual camera position in the generated image.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.57, which is considered good. This suggests that the model was able to understand and translate the scene description in the prompt into a visually coherent shot.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.13, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style, indicating the model’s ability to capture the desired visual feel.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition and aesthetic style, but struggles with accurately implementing the intended camera position.
