Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.1, indicating a poor performance. This means there’s a significant difference between the camera position described in the prompt and the one used in the generated image.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.39, which is considered good. This suggests the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and translate it into a visually coherent image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is considered very good. This indicates that the generated image closely matches the expected aesthetic style.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and achieving the desired aesthetic than accurately capturing the camera position.
