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 0.2, 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 0.5, which is considered average. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt reasonably well, but there’s room for improvement.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.14, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic style than the camera position and scene. It might be helpful to provide more specific instructions regarding camera angles and shot composition in future prompts to improve the model’s performance in these areas.
