Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.48, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model’s ability to interpret and recreate camera positions in the image is decent, but could be improved.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.665, falling within the “good” range. This indicates that the model effectively understood the scene described in the prompt and translated it into a visually coherent image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of scene composition and camera positioning, but needs improvement in generating images that align with the desired aesthetic.
