Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.2, 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 0.5, which is considered average. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt reasonably well, but there might be some discrepancies between the intended shot and the generated image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the aesthetic style than the camera position and shot composition. It might be beneficial to focus on improving the model’s ability to interpret camera positions and shot descriptions for more accurate and visually appealing results.
