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 0.35, 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 as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.54, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that 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 0.01, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the desired aesthetic than the specific camera positions and shot composition.
