Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the camera position and shot composition, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect of the image.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which is considered average. This means the generated image’s camera position was somewhat different from what was requested in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.56, which is considered good. This indicates the generated image’s shot composition was fairly close to what was requested in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.03, which is considered very good. This means the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and shot composition than the camera position. It also excels at generating images with the desired aesthetic.
