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 0.2, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. This suggests the generated image might have a significantly different camera angle or perspective than what was described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.48, which is considered okay. This means the generated image somewhat reflects the intended shot type, but there might be some discrepancies in how the scene was captured.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.09, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic style, suggesting the model successfully captured the desired visual feel.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic style than the camera position and shot type. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to accurately interpret and translate camera position and shot descriptions into visual representations.
