Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but very well in terms of aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.3, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t quite capture the intended camera positions as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.42, also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene as described in the prompt and didn’t create the expected shot composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.02, which falls within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image closely matched the desired aesthetic style.
Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than accurately interpreting camera positions and shot descriptions.
