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 0.35, 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 0.58, which falls within the “good” range. 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 0.13, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding the scene and camera position, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
