Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and aesthetics, but struggled with camera positioning. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, indicating a significant difference between the intended camera position in the prompt and the actual camera position in the generated image. This suggests the model is not very good at following camera position instructions.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, which is considered good. This means the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt and create an image that reflects it fairly well.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.1, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall: The model demonstrates a strong ability to understand the scene and create aesthetically pleasing images, but it needs improvement in accurately interpreting camera position instructions.
