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. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.36, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.595, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand and translate the scene description from the prompt into a visually coherent shot.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style, despite the issues with camera position.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition but needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera position. The model’s ability to achieve the desired aesthetic is a positive sign.
