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:
- Score: 0.25
- Interpretation: This score indicates that the model’s ability to understand and implement camera positions in the generated image is below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
Shot Analysis:
- Score: 0.505
- Interpretation: This score indicates that the model’s ability to understand and create the desired shot composition is average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
Aesthetic Analysis:
- Score: 0.15
- Interpretation: This score indicates that the model’s ability to match the expected aesthetic of the image is below average. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good. This suggests that the generated image may not have the desired visual style or feel.
Overall:
The model demonstrates a decent understanding of camera positions and shot composition, but struggles to achieve the desired aesthetic. This suggests that the model may need further training to improve its ability to capture the intended visual style.
