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 0.1, which is considered poor. This means there’s a significant difference between the camera position described in the prompt and the one used in the generated image.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.5, 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 0.02, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and achieving the desired aesthetic than accurately capturing the camera position.
