Conclusion
The generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but exceeded expectations in aesthetic analysis. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.43, which falls below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.52, which is within the “good” range. This indicates the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt reasonably well, but could be better at accurately representing the intended shot.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.3, which is significantly better than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding and capturing the aesthetic vision of the prompt, but needs improvement in accurately representing camera positions and shot composition.
