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 0.05, indicating a very poor ability to react to camera positions specified in the prompt. This suggests the generated image likely deviated significantly from the intended camera perspective.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.4, indicating a fair ability to understand the scene described in the prompt. This means the generated image captured some aspects of the scene, but may have missed important details or elements.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.09, indicating a very good ability to match the expected aesthetic. This means the generated image closely resembled the desired aesthetic style, despite the other shortcomings.
Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the scene and camera position. This suggests that the model might be more sensitive to stylistic cues than to specific details about the scene or camera placement.
