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 0.4, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.61, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create an image that reflects it reasonably well.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.15, which is outside the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image didn’t quite match the expected aesthetic style.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and camera positions, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
