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 0.3, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.44, which is also below average. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create the expected shot composition.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the desired aesthetic style.

Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the camera positions and shot composition. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to interpret and translate complex visual instructions.
