Conclusion

The analysis shows that 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 0.4, which is considered okay. This means the camera position in the generated image was somewhat different from what was requested in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.51, which is considered good. This indicates the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt and create a shot that was fairly close to what was expected.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is considered very good. This means the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and creating a shot that matches the prompt, but it still needs improvement in accurately capturing the desired camera position.
