- Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, 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 0.56, 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 0.11, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition and a strong ability to achieve the desired aesthetic. However, it needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera position.
