Conclusion
The results indicate that the generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding camera positions and scene composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.46 on camera position analysis, which falls slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that while the model generally understood the camera position described in the prompt, there might be some discrepancies between the intended and generated camera angles.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.505, placing it within the “good” range for shot analysis. This indicates that the model successfully captured the overall scene composition and shot type described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.13, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
