Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but not so well in terms of aesthetic analysis. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, 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 described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt reasonably well, but could still be improved.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.04, which is far from the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model needs improvement in its ability to accurately interpret and translate camera positions and aesthetic preferences from the prompt into the generated image.
