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 0.4, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that the model didn’t quite capture the intended camera position as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.605, which falls within the “good” range. This means the model was able to understand the scene and create a shot that was relatively close to what was described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is outside the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic didn’t quite match the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and camera positions, but needs improvement in generating images that meet the desired aesthetic.
