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 0.48, 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 0.11, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was quite close to the expected aesthetic, despite the issues with camera position and scene understanding.
Overall, the model seems to be struggling with accurately interpreting the prompt’s instructions regarding camera position and scene composition. However, it managed to create an image with an aesthetic that aligns well with the prompt’s expectations.
