Conclusion
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 considered okay. This means the generated image’s camera position was somewhat different from what was requested in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.6, which is considered good. This indicates the generated image’s shot composition was fairly close to what was described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered okay. This suggests the generated image’s aesthetic was somewhat different from what was expected based on the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding and implementing shot composition than camera position or aesthetic. It might benefit from further training to improve its ability to accurately capture the desired aesthetic and camera angles.
