Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model’s ability to interpret and recreate camera positions in the image is decent, but could be improved.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.61, falling within the “good” range. This indicates that the model is capable of understanding the scene described in the prompt and translating it into a visually coherent shot.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shot composition, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
