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 0.31, 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 0.57, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene and create a shot that was relatively close to what was described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.1, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall: The model demonstrated a good understanding of the scene and shot composition, but struggled with accurately capturing the intended camera position. The aesthetic of the generated image was very close to the expected aesthetic.
