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 suggests that the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.64, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene and create a shot that was generally consistent with the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.17, 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 demonstrated a good understanding of the scene and shot composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
