Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the camera position and scene, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.11, indicating a very slight difference between the intended camera position in the prompt and the actual camera position in the generated image. This suggests the model is quite good at understanding and implementing camera positions.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.58, indicating a good understanding of the scene described in the prompt. This means the generated image closely matches the intended shot composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.08, which is slightly above the very good threshold. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviates slightly from the expected aesthetic, but it’s still considered a good result.
Overall, the model demonstrates a strong ability to understand and implement camera positions and scene descriptions. However, it could benefit from further training to improve its ability to match the desired aesthetic.
