Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, indicating it did not perform well in capturing the intended camera position. This suggests the generated image might have a significantly different camera angle or perspective than what was described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.47, which is considered good. This means the generated image captured the overall scene and shot type reasonably well, but there might be some minor discrepancies compared to the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.18, which is considered very good. This indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall: While the model excelled in capturing the desired aesthetic, it struggled with accurately representing the camera position. This suggests that the model might need further training to better understand and translate camera position instructions into visual outputs.
