Conclusion

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 0.25, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.715, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.14, which is considered okay. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was somewhat different from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and shot composition than it is at capturing the desired aesthetic.
