Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.15, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.43, which is considered below average. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create an image that accurately reflected the intended shot.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style, despite the issues with camera position and shot analysis.
Overall, the model seems to be struggling with understanding the spatial aspects of the prompt, but it’s able to generate images with the desired aesthetic.
