Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.1, which is considered below average. This suggests that the generated image didn’t accurately reflect the camera position described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.51, which is considered average. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt to a moderate degree, but there’s room for improvement in capturing the intended shot composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.04, which is considered very good. This means the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic, indicating the model is capable of producing visually appealing results.
Overall, the model shows potential but needs further training to better understand camera positions and scene composition.
