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 0.35, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.42, also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create an image that accurately reflects it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.09, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the desired aesthetic than the scene and camera position. It might need further training to improve its ability to accurately interpret and translate camera positions and scene descriptions into images.
