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 0.36, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera positions described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.47, also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create an image that accurately reflects it.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.3, which is far from the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic significantly deviated from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model needs improvement in understanding the aesthetic and scene descriptions in the prompt. It performed better in capturing the camera position, but still needs to improve in this area.
